Halloween tradition: passing out fruit and veg seeds. Since the fertilizer/oil shortages are likely to affect food security, I passed out 10 varieties of seeds to grow throughout the year. It took me all month to collect, pack and label. I made 20 bags and was able to pass out 17 to different families. (Last year it was only 15).

This is part of my food security in climate change project.

This month's "Lunarpunk Roulette" on the Solarpunk Presents podcast Patreon had us draw: Lunarpunk Bedtime Stories. So we wrote one!

🌎 Botswana: According to a restitution roadmap, Indigenous San communities are gaining broader legal rights to their ancestral lands in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.

🌿 The reserve would remain protected while San communities participate in its conservation and management, bringing their traditional ecological knowledge into decisions about wildlife, plants and other natural resources.

🤝 Social justice and conservation can create a virtuous cycle.

#PumpkinSeeds Are Surprisingly High in Fiber—Here Are 5 Easy Ways to Enjoy Them

Tiny seed, big benefits.

By Tess Abraham-Macht
Published on October 15, 2026

"Pumpkin season may be nearing its end, but there’s still one part worth savoring. Before you toss that pumpkin on your porch, scoop out the seeds! Pumpkin seeds provide tons of essential nutrients, and when roasted, they make for an easy and versatile treat that you can crunch on, sprinkle on top of yogurt, or toss into salads. We spoke with registered dietitians to learn more about the surprising health benefits of pumpkin seeds and the simple and flavorful roasting recipes you can enjoy all year round.

The Easiest Way to Remove Seeds From a Fresh Pumpkin

Largeman-Roth shares her simple method for extracting seeds from a fresh pumpkin:

- Scoop out the seeds with a large metal spoon, removing any big stringy pieces.
- Place the seeds in a bowl of cold water.
- Agitate the water with your hands to loosen and separate any remaining strands of pumpkin.
- Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to remove the seeds, then transfer them to a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
- Let the seeds air-dry for at least 30 minutes before roasting—otherwise, they’ll turn rubbery."

Got leftover pumpkins? Make a stir-fry!

#Pumpkin and Spinach stir-fry

by Kathy Knudsen

"It's Meat-free Monday! Awaken your senses with a vibrant vegetable and nut stir-fry on lime-perfumed jasmine rice.

Ingredients (13)

200g (1 cup) jasmine rice
2 makrut lime leaves
500ml (2 cups) boiling water
2 tbsp oil
1 x 100g pkt macadamia nuts
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 1/2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, crushed
1kg Kent pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, cut into 2cm pieces
1 x 100g pkt baby spinach leaves
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce (use vegan oyster sauce to make this a #VeganRecipe)
2 tbsp honey

Step 1
Place the rice, lime leaves and water in a saucepan over high heat. Cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 12 minutes. Set aside, covered, for 5 minutes. Use a fork to separate the grains.

Step 2
Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the macadamia nuts and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.

Step 3
Add the onion to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl.

Step 4
Heat the remaining oil in the wok over high heat. Add the pumpkin and stir-fry for 7 minutes or until just tender. Add the onion mixture, spinach, soy sauce, oyster sauce and honey, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.

Step 5
Divide the rice among serving bowls. Top with pumpkin mixture. Serve."

Homemade #Pumpkin Puree

by Gidget
Updated on January 22, 2026

"I make pumpkin puree at home with a roasted sugar pumpkin. I puree the flesh in a blender. I love it because it freezes well. Perfect for use in pies, muffins, and other holiday baking recipes.

What Is Pumpkin Puree?

Pumpkin puree is simply cooked pumpkin flesh that has been blended, mashed, grinded, or processed to create a smooth puree. It can be served as a side dish or used as an ingredient in cooking or baking.
What’s the Best Pumpkin for Pumpkin Puree?

While large carving pumpkins are perfect for creating festive Jack-O’-Lanterns, they’re not ideal for making pumpkin puree. The best pumpkins for puree are sugar pumpkins, which are small, round, and orange. The smaller the pumpkin, the better — large pumpkins tend to have more moisture and less flavor.

How Long Does Pumpkin Puree Last In the Fridge?

Transfer your homemade pumpkin puree to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Can You Freeze ​​Pumpkin Puree?

Yes! Pumpkin puree freezes well. If you want the pumpkin puree to last for more than a week, you’ll need to freeze it. You can freeze larger quantities in a zip-top bag and smaller quantities in a muffin tin or ice cube tray. Pumpkin puree will last for up to one year in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1 sugar pumpkin

Directions

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Cut pumpkin in half, stem to base. Remove seeds and pulp. Cover each half with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven, foil-side up, until tender, about 1 hour.
Scrape pumpkin flesh from shell halves and puree in a blender.
Strain to remove any remaining stringy pieces.
Use or store in the freezer in freezer-safe bags. "

#PumpkinCustard

Submitted by Chardonnay Queen
Updated on December 22, 2025

"This pumpkin custard is not a particularly sweet dessert, but it is creamy. The recipe calls for cream, but you can use half-and-half. Much of the creaminess comes from the pumpkin puree. This is great with coffee, but better with a nice port. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter six custard cups or ramekins.
Mix eggs, egg yolks, and flour together in a bowl until smooth. Whisk pumpkin puree, half-and-half, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into egg mixture until smooth; spoon into prepared custard cups.
Arrange custard cups onto a large baking pan. Pour enough water around the custard cups to fill pan halfway.
Bake in the preheated oven until custards are set but still jiggle in the middle, about 40 minutes. Serve at room temperature or chilled."

Why You Shouldn't Toss Your Old Halloween Pumpkins In The Trash

by Simmone Shah
Oct 31, 2026 8:00 AM ET

"How do I get rid of my pumpkin?

Composting sidesteps many of the harms that come with sending food waste, like pumpkins, to landfill.

" 'When we compost something, it's really a whole system that we're creating that introduces both water and oxygen, [and uses] microbes, bacteria, fungi, all the little decomposers,' says Enroth. 'When we introduce those things, we get that aerobic composting process, so we don't produce methane, and we're able to turn those pumpkins back into organic matter that has nutrients and can be put back out into the garden.'

"What’s the best way to compost? If you have a curbside compost bin or designated compost for your apartment building, you can throw it there. If not, see if there are any drop-off composting sites near you. Some areas even organize dedicated events for residents to drop off old pumpkins. Since starting 'pumpkin smashes' in 2014, Scarce and Illinois Extension have saved over 1,600 tons of pumpkins from landfill.

"Don’t leave your pumpkin out for animals to eat or dump it in a park—they can be harmful to wildlife. While pumpkins are generally safe for most wildlife to eat, some small animals, like hedgehogs, can become sick, different animal species congregating together could increase the risk of disease, and it can attract predators to residential areas.

"As you’re thinking about composting, keep in mind that it’s not just pumpkins that are compostable. Food is the single most common material sent to landfills in the U.S.—and wasted food is responsible for 58% of #landfill #methane emissions. If you’ve been thinking about starting your own home compost, now is the best time to do it, says Enroth. 'We often recommend to folks thinking about starting a compost pile, to try it in the fall because we usually have leaves, grass clippings, things to get that pile started. And you could incorporate that pumpkin into that compost pile,' he says. 'It's a really good combination of materials for you to get compost out of it next year.' "

#Pumpkin Recycling and #Composting: Reducing Waste After Halloween

"Recycling Pumpkins: A #Sustainable Approach

Recycling pumpkins is a sustainable alternative to sending them to landfills. Properly recycling pumpkins can help reduce their environmental impact and contribute to the circular economy. Here are some ways to recycle pumpkins with a Texas perspective:

Pumpkin Composting

Composting is one of the most eco-friendly ways to deal with pumpkin waste. Texas is known for its wide-open spaces, making it an ideal location for composting pumpkins. Organic materials like pumpkins break down naturally in a compost pile, transforming into nutrient-rich compost that can be used to enrich soil.

Recycle Old Pumpkins for Wildlife

Texas's varied ecosystems provide an opportunity to recycle pumpkins for local wildlife. Animals such as deer, armadillos, and numerous bird species can benefit from the nutrients in pumpkins, fostering a harmonious coexistence with nature.

While this isn't a recycling method in the traditional sense, it's a way to minimize waste and contribute to local ecosystems.

Donations and Food Banks

In many communities, there are food banks and organizations that accept donations of pumpkins after Halloween. These organizations can use pumpkins to provide food to those in need. Before donating, ensure the pumpkins are clean, free of decorations, and in good condition.

DIY Pumpkin Projects

Repurpose your pumpkins for DIY projects that reflect your Texas pride. Make pumpkin puree for Tex-Mex dishes, craft roasted pumpkin seeds for snacking, or create decorative centerpieces inspired by Texas's diverse landscapes.

Composting Process

Pumpkin composting is an effective way to recycle pumpkins and convert them into nutrient-rich soil for your garden. The composting process involves breaking down organic materials into a valuable soil amendment."

#Australia could save thousands of #bats a year with simple tweak to #WindTurbines, study says

Raising the wind speed at which turbines start spinning could prevent tens of thousands of bat deaths each year, researchers find

Petra Stock
Tue 20 Aug 2024 11.00 EDT

"Australian #windfarm operators are being urged to embrace a simple measure used overseas that scientists say could dramatically reduce the number of bats killed by turbines.

" #Curtailment – lifting the wind speed at which turbines start spinning – is used in some European countries and parts of the US and Canada, but rarely in Australia. A global study published in the journal BioScience found it was an effective way to limit bat deaths.

"Most wind turbines 'cut in' at wind speeds of about 3 metres per second and reach maximum output at between 10 and 15m/s. The researchers found increasing the speed at which turbines start turning to 4.5m/s reduced bat deaths on average by 40%. Greater reductions were possible at a higher cut in speeds."
