or maybe it just has a shorter growing season then some of the other squash. We get limited up here by that a lot because of our shorter summers. They have been getting longer because of the warming of the weather but we still have the long days of sunlight that shorten rapidly as fall approaches which I certainly have been noticing recently.

Most can pumpkin is squash. In articles I've read Libby's pumpkin wins all the blind taste testing. At last check Great Value can pumpkin is made by Libby.

Here is one: https://www.southernliving.com/food/...canned-pumpkin

I think that there are some squashes that taste better, richer than pumpkin. There's so many out there and none of them made it into my garden this year. I'm sad about that. :(
