Well, there will be no *real* homemade pumpkin pie tomorrow.  Youngest and I 
set out to do a couple of canner's worth of pumpkin to have to puree later 
and the pie pumpkins are worthless!  A whole row of pie pumpkins and every 
single one of them is majorly hollow and has less than 1/2" of "meat."  Good 
for the chickens and that's about it!

I haven't a clue what happened to them this season.  Anyone have any ideas? 
Now, they weren't saved seeds.  DH and youngest went and grabbed all the 
seeds last year and roasted them.  Go figure!  So I bought Sugar Pie from 
Baker Creek.
