Carving Pumpkins

Carved pumpkins yesterday in preparation for this evening's trick-or-treaters. The green and yellow variegated pumpkin (0:11) was grown in a raised bed in the backyard. [NOTES: Amy cleaned the seeds, added some salt, and toasted them in the oven. We ate them all. In one sitting. Music by El Ten Eleven].  

Happy Halloween

Scott Cully carving up an 1,800 pound pumpkin as part of the Halloween festivities at The New York Botanical Garden.  Pretty scary. Might make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest jack o' lantern. Go here for the full story.
