what happened to my pumpkin?!
Didn’t want fall to be over but I guess this was a sign. Embracing the cold weather with open arms. In short it’s been outside for a long time. I’m also surprised that my pumpkin wasn’t attacked by squirrels. I didn’t get a lot of sleep so this is very much a thought out loud. #fall #winter #pumpkin #fallszn #holidays
As the seasons transition from fall to winter, many people find themselves reminiscing about the joys of autumn, including the beauty of pumpkins. Pumpkins, typically a staple of fall celebrations, can experience various changes when left outside too long. Due to colder temperatures, they may not rot as quickly, but exposure to the elements like frost can impact their appearance and texture. Interestingly, while pumpkins can be at risk for wildlife attacks, such as from squirrels, some lucky gardeners find their pumpkins remain untouched. There are several factors that can deter critters, including scents and the location of your pumpkin patch. To protect your pumpkins, consider elevating them off the ground or using natural repellents. Additionally, as the holiday season approaches, it's popular to repurpose pumpkins for various decorations or even recipes. Roasted pumpkin seeds and pumpkin pie create lasting memories, making it worthwhile to salvage what remains of your autumn harvest. Embracing these seasonal changes can bring joy, even in the face of fading fall decor. Whether you're transitioning your outdoor decor to winter-themed displays or planning for holiday recipes, there's always a way to cherish the spirit of the season.
