October is approaching, and we will soon be setting out the pumpkins!

These not-quite-so-lovely pumpkins were found in a bin at the apple orchard earlier in the week. They are labeled as "cheese pumpkins." Have you ever heard of that variety? We hadn't. We were told they are good for pies, so The Husband decided we needed to bring one home with us. There were bargain-priced - only $1.00! I'll keep you posted about what happens to it.:-)

Often, part of the fall tablescape here will feature assorted fall squash/gourds. We didn't bring any of these home with us, though. I hope to find some around here for display. We have homegrown acorn and butternut squash that will give us a nice touch of fall.
Thank you for reading. I appreciate your comments.
How lucky for you, to have homegrown acorn/butternut squash(s). Free decorations!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, let us know if these "cheese pumpkins" are really good for pies. :-)
*True Confessions* I always use canned pumpkin. -blush-
Happy Harvest Full Moon,

I've never heard of cheese pumpkins. Heck, I don't even remember seeing white pumpkins until a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteYes, cheese pumpkins are the ones to use for pie. Different type of flesh they have. I like gourds for decoration too, have to pick some up soon. xo

ReplyDeleteI have never heard of cheese pumpkin either, white pumpkins are new to me also!! I need to get out more!!
ReplyDeleteI am also unaware of the cheese pumpkin, so I'll be interested in learning how it works out for you! The Husband is very eager to try new things in this regard, and his curiosity has resulted in some great finds for your family! Hope this is another of those.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a cheese pumpkin but I sure do like pumpkin pie. I will be interested to hear how yours turns out.
ReplyDeleteNo, I've heard of cheese pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of cheese pumpkins, but I will be on the lookout around here. Like your fall pictures!
ReplyDeleteI grew the white ones last year, I didn't know that was the name. I just bought the little stripes home with me. It looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteHm, that's a new name to me and mom too. But everything looks luscious.
ReplyDeleteHasn't it been gorgeous?
Nellie, yes, I have heard of the cheese pumpkins, in fact, I've baked a few and love them.
