Pumpkins...These are one of my
favorite things about Fall.
***The largest pumpkin ever
grown weighed 1,140 pounds!
***Pumpkins are 90% water.
***Pumpkin flowers are edible.
***Native Americans flattened
strips of pumpkins, dried them
and made mats out of them.
***Pumpkins WERE ONCE
recommended for removing
freckles and curing snake bites.
What do you do with the pumpkins
you pick??
I feel bad about saying this, but our pumpkins are usually carved and we burn a candle in them for trick or treat....Then we throw them away. I know this is a waste!

You and I--lovers of all things fall, including pumpkins! I saw a picture of what must've been a 1600 pound pumpkin in a farming newspaper last week and oh, my. The poor thing. It couldn't stand upright, but lay all slouched out on the ground. (I don't know why I gave it human qualities in my mind, but I felt bad for it.)It looked nothing like the pictures of your perky pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteThere's your stool!!! Very pretty fall decor. I always wanted to buy one of those humongous pumpkins and sit it on my front porch, but have a feeling that come November I would be trying figure out how to throw a huge rotten pumpkin away.
ReplyDeleteI love the cheerful orange pumpkin too!! I once saw a TV cook make a wonderful roasted pumpkin ... it was filled with meat and other veggies... amazing. I've got to find that recipe and try it!
