No pumpkin shortage here. People have hay wagons full of pumpkins for sale in their yards. They will never sell all of them.
For too much liquid in the pumpkin, bake as suggested instead of boiling in water. And when you make the pie, add about two tablespoons of flour to the filling. Takes care of the extra moisture.
And be sure to plant or buy "pie" or "sugar" pumpkins. They have less liquid.
