I enjoyed my break from the back-breaking digging to arrange them all in a pile. Quite a collection isn't it? Those pumpkins are destined to become pumpkin pies. Mmmmmmm! We love a good pumpkin pie in this household.

Pumpkin Patch
Down on the allotment we've started clearing the raised beds before winter sets in. There's still plenty to harvest though and yesterday I enjoyed collecting the squashes and pumpkins on our pumpkin patch. After the spell of sunny weather the pumpkins have turned from green to vibrant orange.

I'm particularly looking forward to trying these Turk's turban squashes. They look so attractive and you can see how they got their name! Anyone got any recipe ideas?

No recipe ideas from me I'm afraid.
ReplyDeletePumpkins and squash are relatively new to Ireland
and would you believe it but I have never tasted a pumpkin pie or squash soup!!
Love the photos.
Can't wait until they are in our supermarkets
but until then will have to make do with my plastic ones!!!
Happy Sunday

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of pumpkins! I saw in a magazine that a pumpkin can be cut in half and filled with autumn foliage and berries - fabulous!
