doc,

Wonder if my two will do that?????

I bought 2 lg. ones--but never carved them. What can I do with them??? If I cut them open--will some critters eat the 'flesh"? I know the seeds will probably get eaten by squirrels and Chipmunks.

Don't really want to attract any other vermin.....like rats, maybe.
I have a County storm drain right behind my shed. Easy access for these things....
I believe some of them visited my patio last Winter, as I sprinkle bird seed on the patio floor for the ground-feeders like Doves. Found thee outsides of a couple cardboard boxes shredded....also my roll of paper towels I keep on the table against the house.

Any suggestions re the Pumpkins?
