Life Cycle

A little experiment. At the end of Samhain, when your pumpkins/JackOlanterns are dying, mychildren talked with me. Instead of doing the ordinarytrashing of the pumpkins, we made a pumpkin graveyard to the side of the house, where we dug out our bushes. Compost, they are dying, they return to the earth. From that through the winter, we get the whole death and into the soil. From that, clearing out in the spring,you should get little budlings. Then by Halloween you should have your own pumpkin. A lesson about the cycle of life!
