CARVE YOUR NAME IN YOUR FAVORITE PUMPKIN WHILE GROWING IN YOUR PUMPKIN PATCH
I found this unique idea on pumpkin carving. To start you need a pumpkin plant growing in your yard. Either buy seeds and plant them according to instructions or bury your rotting pumpkin in the late fall in a convient spacious area of your yard, prefably in full sun. When the fruit is still green, before it turns orange, carve your name of choice in the pumpkin. As it ripens it will heal over with a tanish colored hard shell. The wider the carve the more visible the name. Too late for this year but remember to bury your pumpkin in late fall for next year. Bury gourds too, they are a lot of fun, no one gourd grows the same.
