The best thing, to me, about pumpkins is all the delicious things one can make with them, such as pumpkin donuts, pumpkin cheese cake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake and even pumpkin scones.

And I thought that Halloween originated in ancient Ireland and that turnips were first used. I'll do some reading and get back to you on that. annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-18828714620596780982013-10-30T14:29:30.425-07:002013-10-30T14:29:30.425-07:00Hi Kelli, we have grown pumpkins the kids loved th...Hi Kelli, we have grown pumpkins the kids loved the idea and watched them carefully for Halloween but they never grew huge.

We never see the turnips now, which is a shame that this tradition is lost.<br />In the garden, I've started doing a few things but very few leaves have fallen yet, so I foresee it will be a while before I give the garden chores a rest.<br />Happy Halloween Kelli!

It nearly happened this year but the slugs nibbled the bottom of it & as the pumpkin grew so did the hole. Jo@awholeplotoflovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525039817338877634noreply@blogger.com
