'Connecticut Field' makes for HUGE Jack-O'-Lanterns; a classic carving pumpkin with sturdy handles. Plant some Pie Pumpkin too, for 'meat' and roasted pumpkin seeds. I like 'Sugar Pie.'
I had a few pie-types turn up in my compost pile this season, which was a bonus. After last year's absolute GLUT of pumpkin, I have plenty in the freezer for the next few years. :)

I think my pumpkin-breeding project is nearing completion. So far, every pumpkin I’ve cut open has been very sweet, with tasty hull-less green seeds.
Granted, I’ve only cut open 3 so far, but still! These were all from different vines, so I’m starting to get some consistency.

Sugar Pie is the best for making pie. Carving pumpkins have little to no flavor, but the Sugar Pies have a sweet(ish) squashy taste. They are easy to grow. Here in zone 10 we mostly grow
Seminole Pumpkins that lean toward the flavor of a butternut squash except sweeter. The size and shapes vary which I think makes them interesting.
