FYI for those that do holiday baking.  I am making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for a hayride that we are going to this weekend.  I went to buy canned pumpkin at the store yesterday.  They didn't have much and they only had a more expensive organic kind (I will have to look at the name on it).  There is a sign saying that they don't know when they will receive more because there is a pumpkin shortage.  I bought a few extra cans.  The manager happened to be bagging my groceries at the checkout and he said there are strict limitations on how much they can purchase at a time and even then they are receiving it sporadically.

I wonder why? Areas have been hit with powdery mildew and things but I see no widespread news about pumpkin problems.

They are saying that it is the pumpkin crop here in the midwest that did not have a good outcome this year.  Too much rain and too much heat.

I went looking and it looks like our local pumpkins did alright. I have a couple of cans if needed.

I noticed that we only have the organic kind here and last year there was a shortage.  But havent heard anything about it this year i heard that there might be a shortage on regular pumpkins but they are good with the canning pumpkins because of the 2008 season
