Alright I put Pastila Shampan on the list, as well as Cushaw white pumpkin. I will try growing these in my prairie. My field pumpkins aren't great for pies, just for kids, so the Cushaw has me captivated with being good for pies.

I do get SVB here but by the time it becomes a problem the plants are already on their way to the wayside due to the cooling temps.

I am going to try trellising some of my not so aggressive squashes (read: not spag. or pumpkins!) because I think they are getting "beat up" by the bigger more aggressive vines which may also explain my pitiful yield.
