We
visited Inger Johanne and Arne Ulfeng in Fredrikstad,
Norway. They recently published a book about pumpkins and squash with good
recipes and wonderful pictures. It is only in Norwegian, but if you're
interested, contact them at arneulfeng@gmail.com or visit "Gresskarfarmen" (pumpkin
patch in Norwegian). Seeds of many of the cultivars of squash and pumpkins shown on Louie's Pumpkin Patch homepage
are available from

frost, usually around May 15. Check what Johnny's Selected Seeds recommends for pumpkins and winter squash.
Our Mission:
Our goal is to introduce pumpkins and squash into
Swedish cuisine. This is done by growing, demonstrating, and exhibiting many different
varieties of pumpkins and squash. Profile – Louis Lehmann:
A little about myself These trials have
been mainly for selecting early types that do well here. It is also very
interesting to see the variation occurring in Cucurbita. I had along
with a friend been trying for many years to introduce various types of summer
squash, winter squash, and pumpkins into the Swedish diet. This went very
slowly, but one can see today the greater variation found in the
supermarkets. We've also been trying to get more farmers and households to
grow a larger variety of squashes and pumpkins. Halloween has become very
popular here. My main interest has however been in gourmet types.
See the Progress Reports
which were sent to participating
seed suppliers. See Where is Sweden?
This is a paper presented at the
"Cucurbitaceae 2000" held in Israel March 19-23, 2000. This
describes some of our work and results. Available only in Swedish (endast på svenska): Baby food: Our granddaughter thinks Grandpa's
grey winter squash developed in New Zealand by Hybrid Seed Company New
Zealand Ltd (www.hybridseed.co.nz) is very sweet. Notice that her dish is empty and she is showing off her two new front teeth. Her
bib says, "I love Grandpa". After cooking, mix in blender until
smooth. Add nothing -- it is already sweet and full of vitamin A.
