The All-American Pumpkin Guide+November 3, 2008 Magickal Merlin(Death Valley-SoCal) How to start your pumpkin patch,from scratch? I'm surprised this excellent gourd resource book is not more talked about.Everything about pumpkins is discussed here.How to grow and how to harvest.All the varities charted and labeled.Trouble-shooting in the pumpkin garden and squashing pesky pests,(pun intended).How to carve and craft the ideal jack-o'-lantern for Hallowe'en.Also how to make creams,soaps,and other decorations.Good tips on storing,freezing,canning and drying.Final chapter has a seemingly cornucopia supply of tasty pumpking recipes.Competitive pumpkin growing is a serious big business thesedays.There is also good advise on developing and cultivating the 'Great Pumpkin'.The colossal cucurbit and the 'calabaza grande' alike. This is perhaps the most versatile pumpkin book ,you'll ever have to read on the subject.
A sampler of all things pumpkinJanuary 24, 2005 Azurestrangelove(Upstate NY, USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book was a wonderful addition to my book collection because I had been looking for a good pumpkin book for a while. There are tons of them here on amazon but the vast majority of them are mainly for very young children and aren't very informative for an adult who would like to aquire some practical knowledge on our favorite Winter Squash. The Perfect pumpkin is really the perfect sampler of all types of pumpkin information, such as the history of pumpkins, how to grow them, how to carve them, how to cook with them( an entire recipe section! ) and even crafty things such as how to make your very own pumpkin hand soap. This is a very pleasant and interesting book that should satisfy both children and adults. My only gripe about the book is that the growing section wasn't as informative and comprehensive as I was hoping it would be. There is more than enough information for the first time grower, but for anyone who is a novice grower or professional grower should probably also buy "How to grow world class giant pumpkins" as a companion to this book. But for the first time pumpkin grower also looking for some fun facts and information about pumpkins in general, this is ideal.
Everything you need to know about growing pumpkinsApril 3, 2000 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
This has to be the definitive book on growing and using pumpkins. The author covers everything from starting seeds, preparing the field, caring for the plants, troubleshooting and finally harvesting and enjoying the fruits of your labors. There is detailed information on pumpkin varieties and pumpkin pests. The final chapters have extensive recipes for pumpkin. The writing is clear and the scope is comprehensive. I highly recommend it.
