Pumpkin carving 2009

We carved our giant pumpkin today. Ant managed to cut the insides out with a carving knife, but had to use a saw to cut the top off.



Here you can see the pumpkin is quite hollow, but has many seeds



The seeds are very large and we are planning to save these to grow next year. We planted these seeds on a plot where there are no other pumpkins or squash growing near. They also set fruit before the other plants on the site so we are hoping they will come true and produce an even larger pumpkin.




We decided on a simple scary face design. but I may get more adventurous with the smaller pumpkins!
