More pumpkin pasta

Whilst in Waitrose last week I saw another variety of pumpkin pasta - a butternut squash and herb ravioli. And as usual it's a bit overpriced and as usual with this type of pasta some of the parcels are liable to separate open meaning that the filling escapes into the water leaving you feeling a little cheated! The initial taste was good and the herbs prevalent however I couldn't help feel that I'd made soups that tasted similar and where the taste remained for longer after eating. I guess I won't be buying this brand again.

Growing Pumpkins

Well, it's time to get out in the greenhouse again and the first pumpkin seeds have been planted today (along with lettuce, rocket, tomato, aubergine, cucumber and radish). I'll probably end up growing about half a dozen varieties of squash and pumpkin and will update the blog accordingly. Let's just hope that in the UK this year we don't have as bad a season as we had last year.
