I was super excited last summer when we had a few volunteer pumpkins come up. I love decorating with pumpkins in the fall & homegrown pumpkins are the best!
I was then super disappointed when the pumpkin vines died early on & never produced a single pumpkin!
I know it's early, but I'm determined to grow pumpkins next year!
I'm always looking ahead & planning for next year's garden. Adding to the excitement is that Burpee released their 2022 catalog already!
I want to be more intentional with my garden next year so I'm doing a lot of research. I'm planning on buying a lot of my seeds online from Burpee so I wanted to compare varieties.
To compare pumpkin varieties, I made a super simple spreadsheet. It lists the variety of pumpkin, the days to maturity, the fruit weight, the mature spread, & the mature weight. I can then look over everything & pick what will best fit my needs this upcoming growing season.
I'm making this spreadsheet available here as a free download. It's a PDF with clickable links to each pumpkin variety. You can also print it out & go over everything. I plan on printing mine out & doing a lot of highlighting to decide what I'm going to plant.
I'm making this available now in case you're an early bird like me & want to get a head start on the next growing season. You can also save the PDF & use it whenever you want!
