Hi, As I sais earlier this is about the fifth year I have been growing pumpkins in the National Capital and each year we have a Pumpkin Party to get rid of the crop. We have a cutting ceremony and the guests take away a peice to return on the night with a pumpkin dish. It has worked fine to date but this year with about 370 lbs of pumpkin I am not too sure how it will go. Stewart; Canberra ACT ----------
