Pumpkins

Today - The Smashing Pumpkins song - was created on 1993-09-30.

pumpkins grow for about 6-8 months before their harvested and turned into jackolaterns or crushed with sledgehamers

Not the actual outside of skin itself, they will leave that but they will peck at and eat all the layers of pulp, plus all the stringy seed membrane including the seeds. Bust a pumkin open for them in the fall and all that will be left over is the thin hard dark orange outer layer of skin.

No, sugar water will kill the pumpkin plant. All the pumpkin plant needs is good soil water and sunlight.

Pumpkins do not have one specific size. They grow to different sizes.

Something to do with sex.

They aren't round unless you rotate them as they grow. If you don't rotate them they will get a flat spot or become lop sided.

Skeletons are the remains of dead people and because Halloween is a 'spooky' holiday, skeletons are quite fitting.

It depends on how big the pumpkin is. If it is a mini one, you can take two rubber bands, a Y shaped stick, and a piece of cloth. Put it together, to make a slingshot form, then shoot the pumpkin.

yes, only if it is cracked open though since the outside is too hard for them to eat and the teeth/mouth is not strong and large enough to bite into the hard outer shell.

they WILL eat anything if they CAN.

No they dont eat pumkins

Illinois followed by California

It grows inside the pumpkin so if a animal needs to get the seeds it is harder because it needs to get through the outer layer and the skin to get the seeds.

No, you dont HAVE to heat it up that is just one way you can eat it... you can put it in the microwave for 3 minutes and it makes it crunchy and DELICIOUS! Or, you can eat it cold! I like it like that too!

As long as the can is not bulged, it is alright. After a few years, it will loose some of it's flavor, but it will not be spoiled.

The Irish brought the Jack O'Lantern to America. The Jack O'Lantern legend goes back hundreds of years in Irish History. As the story goes, Stingy Jack was a miserable, old drunk who liked to play tricks. He played tricks on the Devil himself. One day, he tricked the Devil into climbing up an apple tree. As soon as he did, Stingy Jack carved crosses around the trunk of the tree. Unable to get down the tree, Stingy Jack made the Devil promise him not to take his soul when he died.

When Jack finally died, he went to the pearly gates of Heaven and was told he was too cruel and had led a miserable life on earth. He was not allowed to enter heaven. He then went to the Devil. The Devil kept his promise and would not allow him to enter Hell. But, the Devil tossed him an ember from the flames of Hell to help him light his way. Jack placed the ember in a hollowed out Turnip. Without a resting place, Stingy Jack roamed the earth for eternity.

On all Hallow's eve, the Irish hollowed out Turnips, rutabagas, gourds, potatoes and beets and placed a light in them. This was to ward off evil spirits and keep Stingy Jack away. These were the original Jack O'Lanterns. In the 1800's a couple of waves of Irish immigrants came to America. The Irish immigrants quickly discovered that Pumpkins were bigger and easier to carve out. So they used pumpkins for Jack O'Lanterns and our modern tradition was born.

No. Once ripe and removed from the vine, they do not keep very long -- around two or three weeks. If they are simply decorative, they should be placed on a cloth to prevent softening.

You can it canned pumpkin from the can, but it might not taste very good. If you eat to much of it you might feel werid or sick. Eatting it can make your stomach hurt a little.
