every autumn we throw all of the gourds and pumpkins in various spots in the yard that we won't mind if wild plants crop up and grow the next season ~ we always think we will paint some white and turn them into snowmen for winter, but we haven't yet ~ animals eat at them and they compost naturally, but a few seedlings always spring up on their own ~ we got 5 pumpkins growing in this patch ~ can't wait to pick them for Halloween #itwasagoodyear #pumpkinpatch #pumpkinseason #growingpumpkins #pumpkingrower #greenthumb #garden #yardwork #gardener #gardening #allnatural #organicgardening #organic #endofsummer #autumnharvest (at Ridley Park, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSwzI5F2QY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jcrtcpuqzf6f
