Hi all,
So I have what may be the stupidest question ever, but does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with real pumpkins after Halloween is over? I'm building a haunted pumpkin patch in my yard this year and I only carve the artificial ones these days, but I would like to incorporate some of the real guys as well. I wouldn't be carving the real pumpkins so they would still be whole and intact and everything. I just don't know what to do with them once it's over. I don't cook worth a <deleted> so turning them into some kind of treat is obviously out of the question. And I hate the idea of just throwing them away sooo, any suggestions? Does anyone know of anyplace where pumpkins can be donated after Halloween? (again, I know I sound stupid here and I can already feel the side-eyes)
Just trying to get a plan together so I know whether or not I should actually use some real pumpkins or just leave them out of it. Thanks!

Re: Discarding real pumpkins
Bring them to a zoo or a local farm. Animals loooove to eat them.

Re: Discarding real pumpkins
toss them off a bridge into the water and watch the splash.....or blow them up with fireworks.............or toss them onto the road and watch them explode...

Re: Discarding real pumpkins
Where I live there is curbside pick up & they put it all in a compost, for the city to use. I hope this helps!! I'll have to think on this some more. Good luck!

Re: Discarding real pumpkins
andybev01-that is a fantastic idea! I'll have to check with the zoos around here to see if they'll take them
spooky-I also accept your suggestion with great enthusiasm
Hola again, Witchy. I will also look into your suggestion because that sounds pretty environmentally friendly and that's what we all want

Re: Discarding real pumpkins
I know you said you don't cook, but do you know of anyone who does?
Perhaps they'll like to make Pumpkin Pie?
Just a suggestion.
Good luck in what you choose to do with them.

You can always do what we used to do. Smash them in the drive of the old man down the street who's always yelling at you.
