The kids picked their pumpkins yesterday but we haven’t done our pumpkin carving yet and now I’m glad! My son has been nagging me to make some Jack-o-lanterns and to be honest it took me a few trials and errors last year since I haven’t done this in a while. I found this quick little article that does give some solid tips, like what to look for in a stem, where to cut the pumpkin and what kind of tools to use.
If you haven’t started your carving yet, or still have some pumpkins left to do, definitely read this first!
