Oh boy. Guys, once upon a time, we got pumpkins 😆
I had to look way back to find out when we got pumpkins. I thought October, but nope. September. The 15th, to be exact.
So, three and a half months later, its next year, and three of these pumpkins are still sitting in my house, on the piano, amidst some Christmas decorations. They didn’t have any mould or suspicious spots, but I was starting to feel urgent about getting rid of them. I was a day or two away from finally gathering them off my piano and hucking them in my compost bin when Cher suggested we hack them up, do some of the compost work ourselves, and save it for the garden this Spring.
Upon cutting them open, it was clear they were drying out, but that was about the worst of it.
The coolest part was finding pumpkin sprouts in there!!
You’d better believe we kept them and put them in some good soil, just in case. Cool, hey??
We hijacked my moms big food processor and went to work cutting pumpkin up!
We started pureeing the pumpkin, along with some coffee grounds, egg shells, and some banana peels and apple cores from lunch that day.
I believe it will be good for the soil.
I also believe it looked like vomit.
The banana-heavy batches are SO much grosser!
Many hands make light work, and we were done in no time. That food processor was warm by the end of it!
These gross bags of sludge are now waiting outside for the spring thaw, their goal to enrich our soil and make a better haul of veggies for the upcoming fall. Be prepared, guys. We’re very likely going to become the people who get a large load of poop hauled in as well.
