Dud Pumpkins?

I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten dud pumpkins this year?

I thought maybe I was doing something wrong because my roast pumpkin just wasn't nice and sweet like it normally is, but its happened the last 5 times now and I'm not doing anything different to what I usually do :dunno:. They just taste bland and mushy, in fact, they don't even taste remotely like pumpkin! I even tried getting them from different places, I tried organic, and growing mode unspecified pumpkins and still the same problem! Both QLD Blue and Kent pumpkins have provided me with no luck :( Going to fork out and try Butternut next time but I'm not hopeful at this point lol

Am I just really, really unlucky or are the pumpkin growers having a bad season?

I usually only get butternuts (they are the same price or not much dearer where I live), I haven't had any probs with them this year.

Nope. All our pumpkins have been really good. We only really buy Kent.

I brought a piece of Jap pumpkin that tasted bland too. It was awful really and I ended up composting it because you just couldn't eat it. But that was the only time though. All the other times have been good.

Hmmm maybe I have displeased the pumpkin Gods... :hide:
