How have you all done with your pumpkins and squashes this year?
Ours are excellent, the pumpkins have grown well without constant water and
we have just harvested 43 full sized ripe butternuts from 6 plants. Needless
to say we have already started giving them away.
Last year the few we got rotted after a month or so in storage because they
didn't ripen properly.

Pumpkins on the nursery compost heap have done so well that roasted pumpkin
and pepper soup are a big tea room hit!
