Being unable to find tinned pumpkin down here in the south and being recommended to use Uchiki Kuri pumpkins, how do you cook them and can they be used for Pumpkin Pie?

MTP- From a Texan transplanted to Wisconsin, (I now have no idea when to plant anything.), I must say you have the perfect initials for a gardener- Melissa Teaberry Petunia. Good luck with “Your Tiny Plot.” How’s your Futsu pumpkins?

We sadly are unable to grow our own right now.

But we got our first uchiki kuri of the year in our veg box yesterday. Woo hoo!

To stop a pumpkin plant you just nip out the growing tips once there are 4 or 5 fruitlets on the plant. This way the plant stops putting all its energy into growing more and starts building up the fruits. Maybe that’s why you have small fruits – just maybe.

How do you “stop” pumpkin. Also ours are the size of a tomato, how do we make them grow larger, they are fed and watered reguarly.

Great work, I grew some Uchiki Kuri in the Midlands this year and they are delicious, a definate for next year, In fact I have a plant which is still growing and fruiting! Some of mine grew to the size of small pumpkins which was odd, but they still taste great and make great soup!

I see you were quoted from in the Gaurdian yesterday in a piece about allotments… It’s still online here.

I have featured your site today on http://www.landscapejuice.com because of your photography.

These pictures in my opinion could win awards themselves let alone the produce which looks really great too.

Can I make a constructive critical point?

Please sort out the sizing of the photos because the text is thrown out and it spoils the effect,

It would be good if the menus are aligned too but the site really caught my attention.

All the best

Exciting news here – I’ve just got a tiny plot of my own! OK, not exciting for you but I am *very* excited. Have been poring over seed catalogues and just picked out uchiki kuri as worth a shot (also fancy bonbon, anyone tried it?)
