Yes pumpkins are grown in Alaska. The best known pumpkins that are grown in Alaska are the Atlantic Giant Pumpkins. The record in Alaska for one of these extremely large pumpkins is 1780 lbs in 2011. Though the coldest state in the US, growers seem to agree that the sunlight and cooler summer temperatures grows them large in Alaska. The sun is available in some towns in Alaska 24 hours a day during the summer. Alaska holds more large vegetable records than any other state.

I predict ABOUT 6 months====Different pumpkins ripen in different times. Size of the pumpkins may have something to do with the pumpkin ripening. growing medium, outdoor weather and moisture also contribute to the growth of a pumpkin. Disease, if any can also help determine when a pumpkin is ripe for picking. Small pumpkins such ad "Baby Boo" pumpkins can grow in 95 days. I grew "Atlantic Giant Pumpkins" that took 135 to 140 days to grow.

Any type of pumpkin is acceptable for pie use, it will depend on the region. For instance, people in a region that grows giant pumpkins will use giant pumpkins for pumpkin pie. well having grown and made alot of pies the rule is the smaller the pumpkin the better. Giant pumpkins make terrible pies in my opinion.
Their eyes are about the size of basketballs
