What to Do With Your Pumpkins After Halloween
Posted on by Paula Gallagher
Are you wondering what to do with your pumpkins after Halloween? Don't kick your them to the curb just yet. Whether you carved them, or left them whole, this mighty squash has plenty of life in it yet.
Composting is a wonderful way to recycle your pumpkin. If your city offers a composting program, then make use of it, especially if your jack-o-lantern has been out for a while. However, if you have a garden, compost it yourself. It is as easy as burying it in the ground. Worms love the soft flesh of pumpkins! Burying it also keeps any smells below ground, keeps unwanted bugs away, and keeps your soil happily full of nutrients before next year’s planting season. Needless to say, make sure to remove any candles, wax, or foil beforehand.
Here are three blogs that will give you tips on what to do with your pumpkin, once the ghouls and goblins have left.
1. What to Do With Your Pumpkin: Did you know that pumpkins are fruits? They are part of the same family as melons and cucumbers. If you have whole pumpkins with seeds still intact, this blog will give you plenty of ideas to make the most of this nutrient dense fruit.
2. Fantastic Benefits of Pumpkin: Plus get my recipes for roasted pumpkin seeds.
3. Interesting Fact About Pumpkin Pies: Read this link to find out why you may need to do some baking. Attention, men! :)
