What to do with all those pumpkins????

Well here is one thing we did!! Meet Jack, the scarecrow. His head is made from that super cute little Jack-o-lantern pumpkin that grew at the side of the house - the only one of the lot that was actually planted on purpose!

The kids are going to carve some more jack-o-lanterns this week out of the volunteer pumpkins that we have about 10 of! And next year - I will NOT let ALL the volunteers grow!!!!!!! I will transplant several to the front garden where they can sprawl at will and the rest of the space will be used for EDIBLE squash!
