This week we began harvesting the first of our pumpkins. Here at Chubeza, when we say pumpkins we mean that slice of pumpkin you already got in your boxes, orange on the inside, light colored on the outside, as well as the smaller squash varieties – the Provence pumpkin, orangish-brown on the outside; the Napoli pumpkin –  long and banana-shaped with a green shell; the elliptic spaghetti squash – yellow and smooth; the green acorn squash (resembling a pinecone); the delectable Japanese squash, and of course the familiar creamy butternut. This year the pioneers are the butternut and spaghetti squash.
