Re: [MBZ] OT - Pumpkin Shortage?

Moles like bugs.  Love lawn bugs, so you need to remove the buffet in your yard 
and the moles will relocate to a place with a better menu.   That does not help 
your lawn much, as you have killed the worms that make great soil in the 
process.  I moved to property where the hardpan was very close to the surface 
and a spring ran very close under the basement.  Not much ability to cross 
travel the yard before they hit the retaining wall that was sitting on hardpan 
or basement walls.  That and the chickens ate all the worms they could find.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Pumpkin Shortage?

[Clay via Mercedes]

Neighbor in GWN was so impressed with himself he had scored a bat size 
courgette for only $3.  I would toss those over grown things to my chickens or 
allow the neighbors to use them for zucchini cake/bread.  The thin 8 inch 
fingerlings were more desirable, unless you wanted to stuff, then something 
wrist width.  Even one plant was more than anybody wanted.  For some reason the 
food banks did not want fresh produce donated from the garden.

What do you use for moles?

My yard is infested with them.

I've tried a couple of hardware store traps without much luck.

You're supposed to pick them before they get that big.
Or, failing that, you might give them to the kid to actually use as 
baseball bats (credit humorist Erma Bombeck for that idea).

 I trapped chipmunk #16 for the year today, plus one mole. I've got 4 traps out 
now, 3 chipmunks yesterday.
I hadn't put the traps out since the end of July, chippie activity was down and 
the ants were eating the almonds I use for bait. I've noticed a lot of activity 
in the last two weeks so it was time to get back at it.
Which reminds me, its time to renew the decon and mouse traps in the basement

Re: [MBZ] OT - Pumpkin Shortage?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 We only had one this year but it went bonkers. I've got a 3'x10' raised bed, 
dang zucchini hung over both sides of the bed, musta been 5' in diameter. It 
kept branching out and making more fruits. We actually froze some this year. 
Tried some the other day, it seems to have worked out good, we'll probably do 
more next year.

I have had no luck with any form of squash or melon, until this year.  A
cantaloupe "volunteered" and I picked it before a borer got a chance to
breach the flesh completely.  I will wait a little longer to allow it to

Odd.

Over the years we have made many, many, pies from quite a few big
decorative pumpkins.  It works just fine.

No shortage of Jack O Lantern kits around here.
Just buy direct and ask what variety they planted.

Drove by my ex-employer's house the other day, he had 200-300 on 
display, a fun little business he started with his 2 sons about 15 years 
ago. I'm sort of surprised it's still going now that the "kids" are well

Re: [MBZ] OT - Pumpkin Shortage?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Based on a little research the "shortage" is probably just another case of 
good old hoarding.
Speaking of which we still can't buy Bounty paper towels, can't even get 
Hannaford (our local supermarket) brand. Angie bought some "Oh So Strong" which 
feel pretty good in the package but we haven't tried them yet.She saw some 
quilted Northern toilet paper the other day and we're fully stocked on that.
One interesting thing we've learned during the shortages is that Angie's dad 
PREFERS the single ply "chew yo butt up" cheap TP. We had some we were keeping 
as emergency stock and rotated it out to them. Our emergency supply is the good 
stuff now.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Pumpkin Shortage?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Canned pumpkins come almost exclusively from one town in Illinois. They're 
almost all mechanically harvested since bruising of the outer flesh isn't the 
issue it would be with Jack-o-lantern pumpkins.

Strangely pumpkins hate it being too wet more than too dry. If its too wet they 
get the white powdery mildew. Normally a big problem for us here in north 
central MA. My cucumbers and squashes are usually done by late August. This 
year they made it until mid-September.

 We've had the same issue here. I prefer "One Pie" pumpkin filling but its been 
out of stock for weeks.We use it in pancakes and have had to resort to "other" 
brands.
Tip: Look at a health food store or co-op. Even at the height of the shortages 
last spring the co-op in Keene was always well stocked. Expensive, but well 
stocked.

Good to know, Peter, thanks!

Guess we’ll hoard the one big can we have for Thanksgiving.

The vast majority of the pie filling pumpkins are grown in a small area in Iowa 
(I think) -- a specific variety that isn't common elsewhere.  Those big 
decorative pumpkins don't make good pies, you want the small "sugar" or New 
England Field ones.  The big ones have watery slop for pulp when cooked.

Production problems have been more common up that way the last couple years.  
Excessive rainfall, too cold too late, too hot and dry too early.  And this 
year the field labor to pick them probably came down with CoVid 19, it's the 
same immigrant (often illegal) labor that handles nearly all commercial produce 
in the US.

[MBZ] OT - Pumpkin Shortage?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Mrs. Dan had a couple of cans of pumpkin pie filling on the grocery list for a 
bundt cake she was going to make today.

No (canned) pumpkin to be found anywhere. Publix had a sign on the shelf saying 
there were “production shortages” of pumpkin. How can that be?

Guess I’ll have to go with the real thing and buy some pumpkins…
