I have about June 1 to September 15 for frost free days. Cinderella does well for me. It stores well and the livestock liked it. Lumina is another good keeper.

USDA Zone doesn't matter. That only tells us the average coldest temp each year, hopefully in winter and not during pumpkin growing season. Some years I kind of wonder though. =)

Anyone have suggestions of pumpkins for poultry feed, warm zone 4 cool zone
5? Will be planting some sugar beets, lots of clover, excess turnip seed,
etc for chickens, ducks, geese. Looking to reduce winter feed bill. Pumpkin
growers around here grow Howden a lot, if that gives some season comparison.
Would like lots of tonnage but the individual pumpkins don't need to be
large. Thanks.
