Now, how to extract all that gooey goodness from the inside, so that you can make your own pumpkin desserts, or a jack-o-lantern? Try the super versatile Soil Scoop (below.) The serrated edge and pointed tip are designed for a wide variety of garden tasks, from weeding to chopping to planting. But check it out; this tool will also be totally perfect for scooping out pumpkin guts, and even scraping all the stringy pieces off of the inside. The Soil Scoop even comes in both green and purple, so they’re not just cute, but easy to spot in your yard or tool chest.
I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.
I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

I just love weeping Willow trees. Only wish I had the room for one here.
