How do you plant pumpkin and watermelon seedlings?
If you live somewhere, where it's early warm... without frozen days, put the seed in the soil. Make sure it will have enough space for growing. Let it grow and in summertime you will have melons. If you live somewhere like I do ( Germany ) you have to put the seed into the soil at home, plant the little plant outside as soon as it's getting warmer. The melon might not have enough time to ripe properly, when there are not enough sunny days.

What culture added the 'pumpkins' to Halloween?
No culture really added it, since pumpkins were growing from a seed. People bought them, and thought it would be cool to see what's inside of them, so someone cut the top off, and got all the gunk out of it. Then they accidentally stabbed the pumpkin, and ended up making a face. Then they put a candle, and that made the jack o' lantern (pumpkin). They decided to put it outside, and other people thought it was cool, so they decided to do it too, and it just passed on. Eventually everyone made it part of Halloween.

Do you boil fresh pumpkin before making pumpkin pie?
No. A single pie crust should be rolled and cut to match your pie plate by turning the pie plate upside down over the dough, then cutting away excess dough about 1/2 - 3/4 inches beyond the outside edge of the overturned pie plate. Push away excess dough and bring your pie plate back to its upright position on your work surface. Lightly dust the remaining dough so that it will not stick to the plate or rolling pin, and then roll the dough onto the rolling pin you used earlier. Place the edge that is hanging out on this roll on the rolling pin against the pie plate leaving 1/2 - 3/4 inch depending on the thickness of the dough...if the dough has been rolled very thin then give yourself the extra 1/4 inch to prevent tearing of the dough as you unroll the rest of the dough onto the top of the pie plate. Make sure the flour-added side is facing down. Allow the dough to begin to sag and then help gravity by gently using fingers to push ever so lightly (to prevent tearing) and fit the dough to the shape of the plate. Along the ridge of the plate you can do many artistic decorations or simply use the back of a fork to press down the dough so that it will not slip during cooking. Then fill with your pumpkin pie recipe filling...I recommend the recipe on the back of the most popular canned pumpkin in the US. I have used it many times and it has always done well. Pre-heat oven as the recipe states and cook according to directions or until center of pumpkin mixture is set when pie plate is "jiggled" and the center no longer looks like a liquid. Enjoy your pie!
