Can Frosted Pumpkins and Butternuts be saved?

What an unusual colour, Carolyn. It was clever of you to take the foto with your dog, it gave perspective.
I am interested in how it will taste and look on the inside.

You always have the most interesting stuff there.

 

Thanks S, I have heard they are tasty,so I am anxious to try it, but this weekend isn't the time to try it. Maybe one night this week. The pumpkin looks smaller than it is from where I was standing and Maya was looking down, but isn't that how photos go?

 

Just be sure to post some piccies when you have time, oké miss?

 

Well, I am sorely disappointed in the jarradales flavor. I'll take a butternut any day over one of these. They are beautiful, but not tasty. I sit here trying to choke down leftovers from the one I baked and served up as a pumpkin pie. Even with cinnamon and honey it is not going down fast. I will get it down and be done with it though and the other one will go to the chickens. they seem to have no taste when it comes to quality food, they will eat anything.

 

Carolyn, sorry to hear the taste was disappointing. I'm planning my first garden and pumpkins are definitely going to be in it. They're my favorite symbol of the Autumn season.

 

Thanks V, Pumpkins definitely are a symbol of the season, but I wouldn't waste the space to grow them if I wasn't planning to eat them. If you are planning to eat them make sure you plant pie pumpkins such as conneticut fields or amish pie, but buy a pumpkin if you just want them for decoration. Otherwise the space they consume is a lot of garden space. I don't think (I could be wrong, though) that there are any bush pumpkin varieties.

Like I said the Butternut is a much tastier vegetable.

I couldn't finish the pumpkin I was eating as I typed the last post...I fed it to Maya...she thought it was fine. No accounting for taste, is there?. But I buy dog food that has no grain, but a bunch of vegetables in it...

 

Too bad about those pumps, C.
I like butternut's too.

 

Yeah, too bad, but you don't know until you actually try them. My mom said they were good. we must have different expectations.
