I impulse-bought two pumpkins at the store last year, as they were on sale for a dollar each!
I had them on my little porch for a while, but then put them out in the yard.
They took FOREVER to decay.
Which was kinda creepy.
Visions of scary GMO-zombie pumpkins (delightedly) filled my head.
They actually stayed pumpkin-like for months, until one disappeared, leaving its partner all on its lonesome.
Then I saw this post about a doppelganger pumpkin! I mean, what are the odds? LOL! [I love the chain in the picture–it’s almost as if it really was a “Walker” (Walking Dead reference) zombie pumpkin!]

Here’s my spooky ooky gooky pumpkin pics!
Ashes to ashes
Dust to Dust
A rotted pumpkin
Like forgotten bread crust
Used up and hollow
But a lone seed survived
Pumpkin’s revenge
Oh my it’s ALIVE!
Hugs, Pam

I think the important question here is – What happened to that second pumpkin? 🤣

Many years ago, in college, my roommate put a Halloween pumpkin on his windowsill inside our suite and proceeded to forget about it. Some months later, we detected a noisome odor, traced it to a gummy residue flowing down his wall beneath the window, and, well, we had a bit of a cleanup project on our hands …

We leave old pumpkins in the vegetable garden in the hopes that the seeds will grow. No luck yet but at least it’s good for the soil!

Ah, I should have taken a seed and planted it in a pot! Good to know it’s good for the soil!
