Speaking of pumpkin.
And I have been today, both here on Garden Variety and in The Baltimore Sun.
Rita Calvert of Buy Fresh, Buy Local Chesapeake writes on Homestead Gardens' new blog about cooking with pumpkins.
First she gives you a primer on the different kinds of pumpkin. Then a recipe for a salad with pumpkin and a bread made with pumpkin AND beer! Yum!
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

While I do not question your expertise in this matter, I must say that last night the WalMart in, is it Hunt Valley? Timonium? had good-sized (about twice as big as a basketball) pumpkins for under $3.
I didn't look for canned pumpkin. When my daughter-in-law hands out the Thanksgiving dinner assignments, pie are never on my list.
Like I said in my story in The Sun, it is unlikely consumers are going to notice any problems unless they wait until the last minute to buy a pumpkin and fiind the selection poor. Also, merchants have begun to just price the pumpkins, instead of selling them by the pound. It saves time, but that prevents us from seeing any real price increases, I think.--Susan
