   I planted 12 different pumpkins/winter-squash this year. Like you, I think   
   I'll plant just a few of our favorites next year. It gets kind of confusing,   
   following the vines from the home hills to the fruit to determine which is   
   which. My wife will rate    
   them and we'll plant 4 or 5 next year. So far, the Butter Cup is the favorite   
   for squash a dinner side dish. The Dickenson and Yuxijiang gave a good yield   
   of orthodox pumpkins; my wife will determine which make the best pies over the   
   next couple of    
   months.
