Pumpkins are the crop that made me fall in love with gardening when I was a very little girl. I don't think I have missed a season growing them since. What a year. we have had 4 different harvests, and they are a few giants still turning orange. My new favorite isn the black Warty. I always grow Connecticut eels, and Mrs Wringles. Along with Rumbo, the best pie pumpkin. Enjoy my haul.

I didn't realize that there was a black variety available that grew that large, CatJac.

So many pumpkins are maxima rather than pepo. That's Fine! More chance that they are tastier than just for decoration. Smashing Pumpkins. We may put our gray maxima out on the porch for Halloween but it would be a shame & likely that they would freeze that night or some kids would make off with them. I checked, your Rumbos are maxima and I remember that you have mentioned them before. I bet they are good eating.
