Winter Luxury.
The best. Small pumpkins, maybe 5 lb., with good smooth texture and
excellent flavor. We made pies with about 6 kinds of pumpkins/squash last
year and the clear winner was Winter Luxury. 95 day maturity - can you
work with that? Some of the moschata types are also very good. Of
course, stay away from the nice looking big Halloween type things; the
Red Deliciouses of the pumpkin world. I must admit, we haven't grown
butternut squash yet.

pie and bakery? Pumpkins or squash?
What varieties. I live in zone 2 so they have to be short season.
