Very successful of growing pumpkin this year, all three varieties (Red King, Hokkaido Blue and Pink Banana) grows well both inside green house and outside. The best performing in terms of return on yield has to be this Pink Banana variety, growing in the same length of time to more than double the size of the other 2 varieties, and similar in taste, mildly sweet and nutty.

I like to cut a hole around the stalk to open the pumpkin, bake it whole with seeds inside at 180˚C until soft, around 40 minutes. Then I can use it throughout the week to turn into soup, mix with vinaigrette, pesto sauce, stir-fry with other vegetables etc.
