I came home yesterday to find a pumpkin in my side yard, quietly sitting under the tree. It’s not a small pumpkin, but probably weighs close to 10-15 lbs. or so. It wasn’t there when left for work. Our is not the type of neighborhood where silly children move pumpkins from one place to the next, which made me wonder how it arrived in my side yard. (No, the yard isn’t fenced, and is visable from the street.)
So, any suggestions or theories about the Pumpkin Dump?
On a side note, saw something on the news the other day. Do not put pumpkin guts down your garbage disposal. Instead of chopping the guts up, the disposal did a fine job weaving the fibrous strands into a short hunk of pumpkin gut rope which promptly plugged up the sink drain. In the trash, compost bin, left out for wild animals to munch on fine, down the garbage disposal, no.
Sorry I can’t help, but the title just gave me an idea for my jack’o’lantern.
Unfortunately I don’t think my wife will let me carve one straining to make a turd, or wincing from runny-bum. Make use of the innards or better yet, smaller squashes. I’ve done the vomiting one a couple of times, so this might be a change.
