Show us your pumpkin 🎃

[Jenben]

It is not a normal year but where we live we are having a pumpkin trail for the children to enjoy. During lockdown the Womens Institute bench where we live was decorated with loads of knitted items and a rainbow , these have now been taken down but we thought we would take part in the pumpkin carving and here is our effort .

What about other Funsters , share your pumpkin carving skills here

 

[FIDGET]

Love it , looks a bit like a piggy snout

 

[Nixdorfer]

Thats what I thought. Saw the piggy snout and was trying to work out what it was

Then realised there is a ghost in the middle... DOH

A good effort, we haven't done one for a few years

Always remember to dispose of correctly, hedgehogs will eat pumpkins but they act as a laxative making them lose weight, not good as many won’t survive.

Isn't it a shame in a country where they say poor families can't afford to feed their children that we buy,carve and throw away thousands of tons of pumpkins..Do not people realise they are edible,,lovely soup and nice roasted..BUSBY.

I don’t think pumpkins were widely available in my day , I think we used a turnip as well !

 

[Mr porky]

We walked to the local farm and bought a turnip of the farmer, absolute swine to carve. This was the 1970s though.

 

[In a Pickle]

We always used a turnip, don’t think we saW many pumpkins around Huddersfield in the seventies. I loved The smell of the turnip being slowly cooked by the candle!
