<\/a><\/p>\nThis year, we tried a San Felipe pumpkin that we really liked. Being a C. pepo<\/em>, we could grow it in our garden along with Hopi Pale Grey, a C. maxima<\/em>, without having them cross. We loved the shape and color along with the deeper ribbing. Just like the old pumpkins our ancestors grew in the cornfields. When I opened them to extract the seeds, I was happy to notice the fragrant smell and deep orange color. The seeds were nice too and would make wonderful roasted pumpkin seeds. A definite keeper for next year!<\/p>\n Good news!<\/p>\n “Winter of the Wolves,” the third book in the Jess Hazzard series, has been scheduled for release on December 1st.
