I picked two of my pumpkins today. They're so pretty and I'm so proud of them! We cut one up for lunch and made pumpkin soup. The flesh is not as orange as the usual type of pumpkin we eat here in New Zealand. I don't know whether these American variety are supposed to be darker orange or not - maybe my soil was lacking something. They have a pale orange flesh. But they tasted good and we enjoyed the soup for lunch with grated cheese sprinkled over it.
