Growing up I always thought pumpkins were only good for carving during Halloween.

As time goes on I am finding out that you can use pumpkins for a lot of reasons.

You can make a pie,  bake the seeds, plant flowers in them, use the shell as

a drink dispenser use them for the head of a scare crow, and paint them.

The list keeps growing.

Pumpkins are great for many reasons.

The pumpkin it's self is also good for you. Pumpkins are a great source of vitamins

and minerals.

They have beta-carotene, potassium, and vitamin C. Pumpkin can also help prevent

hardening of the arteries.

Next time you go to the pumpkin patch or local super market you might want to pick up a

pumpkin for one of these great reasons.

Mister Landscaper want's to wish all of you a wonderful week.
