Pumpkin Patch



No matter how hard I tried to steer him towards the $3 pumpkins.....




 
 
He liked the knobbly deformed $1 ones best.






Who am I to argue????




Oh, and we have squash in the cold cellar now too... $15 worth of squash & pumpkins, all from the local farmer, who's son goes to school with Chuck. I think that the squash traveled three km to get to our house. I dunno if I can handle the pressure....

  1. I have to agree. The bumpy, knobby pumpkins are the best. They make the coolest jack-o-laterns. Thanks for stopping by my blog! :-)

  4. Hey,
    I had an awesome article from Canadian Living or Chatelaine that covered baking, cutting, pureeing and preserving pumpkin if you don't have anything. Should come up online if you google it.

  5. @Jamie, I tend to just bake, puree, & freeze in one cup portions.

    Then the pumpkin is good for either eating as a veggie, or it can be turned into pie. Because nothing's been 'done' to it or added, anythaing can be added for the finished product!!
