Grow Your Own Soup

Bright, full-color photographs illustrate this book on how pumpkins are grown. Appropriate terminology is used as the reader learns about the seed, roots, compost, and pollen. The varieties of pumpkins are shown, such as minis that climb up frames and the giant prize winners that weigh hundreds of pounds. Recipes are provided for making soup from a fresh pumpkin and roasting the seeds. A glossary, index, and bibliography of appropriate websites are at the end. (Part of the recommended series "Grow It Yourself!")
