Last summer, one of our compost areas was a three sided pit affair on the edge of the vegetable garden. The real delight was the winding tendrils of a large leafed apparition. It began to lose its dream-like quality when it wound its way through the po- tato patch and over the lawn in one di- rection and carefully started up the to- mato baskets in the other. We finally had to curtail the over ambitious climb of the green monster when we could no longer see the tomatoes ripening The kids were enthralled with the whole episode, checking the garden on a regular basis to see how far it had grown in a day or two. There was no doubt in their minds that this particu- lar vine would produce pumpkins in time for Hallowe'en. They were sure I had planted this wonderful seed, but it was pure hardiness on the part of last year's pumpkin seed that allowed it to sprout in the spring and come back to haunt us. Since August we have been dining on roast pumpkin which is so close to the acorn squash in flavour, that the kids had no qualms after the first mouthful. I can already taste the pumpkin chiffon pie and pumpkin muffins while Peter and Sarah are collecting the seeds to roast. To roast the seeds, we prepare them by covering them with water and simmering gently for ten minutes. Drain and rinse well and let them dry on paper or a cookie sheet. Be careful to make sure they are drying, stirring them occasionally to keep them from souring. After drying for a day or two, we mix a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil with a teaspoon of soya sauce or Worcestershire sauce and a bit of celery salt and roast carefully at 325°F until golden brown. We have company coming from Germany where pumpkin is not a big drawing card, so I would like to serve
