Where do you live that pumpkin is viable right now? Avid Gardner in Texas here, everything but tomatoes (barely hanging on) and peppers are dying this time of year. I focus mostly on fruit trees that I shield from freezes cuz my summers just kill everything :/.
It’s a Northern Bush Pumpkin. I bought the plant when it was wee with two leaves at a local farmer’s market and it is going absolutely bananas right now. I’m in zone 5 in the western US, so I think the season has been just right. Not too hot, which killed one of my jalapeño plants, but everything else (tomato varieties) are doing well.
