Last of the pumpkins

I found that while I was in North Dakota the rest of my pumpkins ripened from green to orange. And rather quickly as several of the pumpkins even were starting to get a few rot and mold spots.

Tuesday I cooked up one large kettle of pumpkins into paste and today I cooked the rest of the pumpkins (which filled two-thirds of the kettle). I estimate a full kettle seems to get me around 18 cups of pumpkin paste. Did I ever mention that I love pumpkin?

So. My 2008 garden is now officially done as I have eaten or cooked everything from it. Just in time as next week I should start the seeds for my 2009 garden.
