We’re right in the middle of pumpkin season, but I’ve read that so many are pulling out their Christmas tree earlier and earlier every year – I don’t blame them! I love Christmas. If you’re needing a purpose for your pumpkins while you switch them out for twinkling lights, here are some of these ideas.
Don’t Waste It! 8 Ways to Use Pumpkins
Compost it
Whether you’ve carved some pumpkins or have pumpkin components left from one of these other ideas, composting is such a great way to use a pumpkin! It is a free way to keep feeding your garden. Here are my tips for composting.
Make pumpkin puree
If you find yourself with several intact pumpkins, once you take them down from decorating, you can make pumpkin puree just like you buy in a can at the store. Here are instructions from the Pioneer Woman. Once you have the puree, you can make pumpkin snickerdoodles, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin energy bites!
Use it as a makeshift planter
You can make your outdoor decorations even more fall-themed by cutting a hole in a pumpkin, removing the insides, and adding potting soil! Then you can plant annuals or perennials in them. These planters will last about a month, so you’ll need to transplant any perennials afterward!
Roast the seeds
If you’re carving your pumpkin or using it for a planter, you can make use of just the seeds! Here is a step by step guide to roasting pumpkin seeds. Read More→
