None were planted by me. They all rose out of the worm castings I used to fertilise my tomatoes last November.
They're mostly Queensland Blues, I think, although at least one Kent has made an appearance.
Faced with a glut that we will be eating for months, I am looking for recipes that use pumpkin. And I am sure I will feature quite a few pumpkin recipes over the next little while.
If you have any suggestions for pumpkin recipes, either sweet or savoury, I 'd be very grateful if you would share them with me.

My husband was skeptical when he saw me making this, but he fell in love with it.
Curried Pumpkin Soup
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 to 1 teaspoon curry powder
3 cups vegetable broth
15 ounces pumpkin (I used a 15 oz. can of solid-pack pumpkin, but you can puree this amount of cooked pumpkin)
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Sour cream and chives, optional
In a large saucepan, saute the mushrooms and onions in butter until tender. Stir in flour and curry powder until blended. Gradually add the broth. Bring to a boil; cook & stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the pumpkin, milk, honey, salt, pepper and nutmeg; heat through. Garnish individual servings with sour cream and chives if desired. Yield: 7 servings
This recipe came from Taste of Home 2001 Annual Recipes.
Hope you like it.
