[Small pumpkin]

Hi CJ welcome to the vine

I'm only growing a couple of varieties compared to some here

German red strawberry
sun gold
Indian moon
indigo apple
tumbling Tom red
gardeners delighted
Black Russian
brown sugar
blond boar
black + brown boar
dark Galaxy
buffalo horn

I usually grow them because I like the name not because they are suited to a particular job. I use what ever's ripe for whatever I happen to be making.

[Scoot]

Sungold (10), Pink Charmer(6), Gardeners Delight(5) and Ananas Noire(1).

Number of plants in brackets.

These are my 4 favourites. Other varieties that i have grown in the past i have found to be quite tasteless and so i have been doing a process of elimination over the last few years. These are the ones i'm left with.

Definitely gardeners delight, good all rounder. Sungold and sweet million ' cos I always do Trying out purple calabash and costoluto fiorentino just to see how they do

I have a bad habit, I look through my seed box and think "yes i love that one" "oh, yes that's delicious" and "ooooh, I didn't sow that last year"

Hi and welcome.
I've not heard of "Big Beef" - have you grown it before?

[Penellype]

I've just ordered a packet of T&M's latest offering - Oh Happy Day F1. This is said to be a cross between an American blight resistant variety and a Marmande type. They say it outperforms Mountain Magic for blight resistance, can be grown outdoors and has good flavour. I'm going to try it on the allotment and see if it lives up to expectations.
