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

In Sweden we
plant after risk for frost, usually around May 15. Check what Johnny's Selected Seeds

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.

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.
