This biggie is the first. Isn't he a giant!
Pumpkins will keep for all winter in a cool place. Wash the skins with a very diluted bleach mix (1litre H20 and 1t bleach) to kill any moulds or whatnot that may be parked on the outside. Let dry, then put on a shelf in a cool place. They do not deteriorate at all, and make wonderful eating during the winter months.
I haven't counted how many we have outside, but there must be more than a dozen, all looking gorgeous.
I need some. Or I will just come to your place for pumpkin soup!!!
