You can't really eat them, but . . .
2 years ago
Well, I suppose you can eat pie pumpkins, but I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie. I’m more interested in the jack o’ lantern type—not the giant kind, but a respectable, gut-the-innards-and-set-it-on-the-porch kind. The only problem is that they take up a lot of space. Also, I’m afraid they will attract the same array of pests that killed most of my buttercup squash plants. But I’d still like to do it, even if I have to cut 40 vine borers out of every plant, because pumpkins are such a cheerful thing to have around.
