I officially cast my vote as a pumpkin hater right now. Don't get me wrong, I love eating pumpkin and whatever but getting rid of my giantic pumpkin after Halloween isn't exactly my cuppa tea.
Did I ever tell you this fantastic plan that I have to get rid of the pumpkin by burying it in our yard? I mean how hard can it get to dig a big hole then dump the pumpkin in? It's good for compost afterall... however, nobody told me I couldn't dig beyond a few centimetres - ie. struck hard clay soil after a few inches. So now I have a delightful half pumpkin dome in my yard. Well, at least it's added color to a somewhat drabby looking patch.
I threw my four pumpkins into the compost bins we have down the back. We put all organics, eggshells, and even some grass (most of it goes to the city however)
No more real pumpkin for me next year. I went out and bought a fake one from Shoppers. Best value to date.[/DIV]
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Yaargh!
