conversations.value: The Perfect Pumpkin
  WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONS PUMPKINS, you probably think of jagged-toothed jack-o'-lanterns or Thanksgiving pies. But versatile pumpkins have far more to offer than these traditional uses. Even before a pumpkin forms, the vine's tender young leaves can become tasty steamed or boiled greens, and the edible blossoms make an attractive garnish or a delicious stuffed-and-fried side dish. The immature fruits add a pleasant crunch to salads or stir-fries, mature pumpkins yield both multipurpose meat and nutritious seeds, and the cheerful orange shells are easily hollowed out to make containers that double as serving bowls or cooking pots.
  Besides their many culinary offerings, pumpkins are indispensable mood setters for autumn festivities. And they have become objects of intense competition: Who can grow the biggest pumpkin, who can carve the most imaginative jack-o'-lantern, who can throw one the farthest? And when all else is said and done, pumpkins are relished as a time-honored winter feed by goats, cattle, pigs, and poultry.
  Pumpkins have something to offer the dedicated enthusiast year-round: spring planting, summer cultivation, fall fun, winter storage. Adding further to its appeal, this best-known member of the squash family comes in a multitude of varieties, with shells ranging in color from orange to yellow, white, green, and even blue; flesh ranging in texture from mealy to meaty; and sizes ranging from gourmet miniatures that nestle in the palm of your hand to mammoth record setters big enough to carve into a child's playhouse.
  Besides all this, pumpkins are incredibly easy to raise. The lush, fast-growing, prolific vine is an ideal first-garden confidence builder for a child or novice adult. But even if you're an expert, there's something decidedly magical about spotting those glowing orange globes peeping out from a sea of sprawling green vines.
  In short, pumpkins speak to our elemental need to reap abundance from the land. No wonder people of all ages are intrigued by the pumpkin.

conversations.value: Small cracks that appear in the shell may heal on their own, but will benefit from your assistance. Moisture that gets into a crack invites bacteria and fungi, ultimately leading to rot and the collapse of your season's efforts. Once rot sets in, the offending pumpkin must be removed so its disease won't spread to others.
  Tree-grafting wax, applied to surface cracks, will seal out moisture. Spraying the pumpkin weekly with a solution of chlorine bleach (3 tablespoons of bleach per quart 47 ml/L] of water) will discourage bacteria. A weekly application of fungicide will deter fungi. (For more information on disease control, see [chapter 5.)
  A pumpkin that cracks under its own weight may be a casualty of improper watering or feeding. If you let the soil dry out around your vine and then water liberally, the roots will eagerly soak up moisture and carry it to the fruit, which will swell and split. Keep the soil evenly moist to a depth of at least 6 inches (15 cm). Lavish applications of chemical fertilizers supply nutrients in periodic bursts, leading to growth surges that also cause splitting. For balanced growth, either apply chemicals in small, steady doses or feed your pumpkin through the use of plenty of rotted manure or compost, which supply a steady stream of nutrients.
  If, despite all your precautions, your pumpkin splits anyway, chalk it up to bad luck and try again next year. The likelihood that a pumpkin will split is one reason many growers hedge their bets by tending more than one vine each season. Even if your best pumpkin falls victim to blowout, who knows — your next best pumpkin might still be big enough to set a new world record.
