Pumpkins are everywhere at this time of year: but it’s time to look beyond the jack-o’-lantern to find a tastier, more versatile squash for the veg plot
Pumpkins carved into the gurning visage of Donald Trump. Giant pumpkins strapped up and hoisted onto trucks to be transported to compete against similarly gargantuan squash. Pumpkins used as plant pots; halloween lanterns, even boats. Animals in zoos chomping on whole pumpkins. Not to mention a whole raft of food and drink products jumping on the pumpkin bandwagon (what is pumpkin spice, anyway?); only some of which actually contain any actual pumpkin.
Halloween is nearly here, and we are reaching peak pumpkin.
