Pumpkin crisis

The epidemic of pumpkin and squash growth from last year's garden is now showing it's full effect.
Having noticed mold growth on the skins of these previously orange vegetables we are slightly concerned on how we can consume our quantity before they make delicious compost. As the insides are still firm we can carry on making pumpkin soups, bakes, mash, bread-crumbed and curry style dishes. But even with our best read knowledge of pumpkin storage in the cellar, we fear a loosing battle to the deteriorating yuck on the skins and by springtime this plight will be confined to the history pages of Havran Cottage.
