Well, Amber can't find the camera since we went to the Iowa State Fair, so I don't have any updated pictures of the Rumbo squash taking-over the rest of the yard. But I do have at least 15 squashes of 15-20lbs EACH growing nicely. In fact, the vines are STILL putting-out female flowers; so I don't know when this will end. The vines are getting suspiciously close to my house, and I'm starting to get nervous. Isn't this how all those 1950's "B-movies" start? Hey, if you saw a recent picture...you'd be paranoid, too.
We've harvested a few of them already; and the next natural question is: "What do we do with all of them?". A fair question. We have a couple for decoration inside and outside the house; but I can see that "supply" easily out-strips "demand" in this case.
So... What are YOUR best recipes/uses for pumpkins? Please post your answers so that we can all share ideas. And if you want a "pumpkin" (and like the green color)...just stop-by. I'll be happy to pick you a fresh one...or three. On second thought...the best recipe/use posted gets a FREE Rumbo squash...just add $19.95 for shipping & handling...

I think a great plan is to have your kids take them door to door and make a little cash -- beats letting them go to waiste (pun intended) or going rotten. Hope to hear from you again soon -- like the vines stopped at the door and all.
If you work at the pumpkin patch maybe you could slip a few in there.
Now you work in TWO pumpkin patches! What an amazing garden you have! WoW! The weather there must be perfect for it, AND you have a very green thumb. So much fun, I can tell your kids are loving it.
