Pumpkins A Sustainable Food Source
Pumpkins a sustainable food source.
From a sustainability point of view growing pumpkins is right up there. They are easy to grow and harvest. Often self germinating seeds can be pulled out as seedlings from my compost bin or worm farm and transplanted directly to the pumpkin patch. They provide a large amount of filling and healthy food. You can add pumpkin to a wide variety of recipes and can even eat pumpkin seeds.
They don’t require any energy to process them for storage due to their thick and protective skins. Pumpkins stored well can easily last over the following winter and spring. It’s also really easy to remove, clean and store away seeds for growing yourself more free pumpkins the following year. If you have the space to grow pumpkins just go for it. They get the big thumbs up from us!
