We harvested all the pumpkins on monday after a few frosty nights with more frost to come. 


Today I remembered that I’d better get the volunteers still out on the compost piles. 

Quite a harvest;

I don’t know where the seeds came from, because I’ve never grown the orange stripy kind. Must be from some hybrids. Usually I don’t care much for the compost volunteers because these wild ones don’t get as good a flavor as the hybrids. But these are so beautiful that I can sell them as great ornimentals – and food. 

I made a pumpkin miso soup with one the other day and it was quite good.
