They are mulched down and used for compost within the walled garden. I have found out what happens to these pumpkins after they are used for Autumn displays within Attingham.

I am not sure what they do with the large pumpkins but whatever they do with them it will be environmentally friendly.

So it's really wasteful to see people grow them then discard them after Halloween. Precious land resources should have used wisely and everybody can reap the benefits of Mother Nature. Ha ha... this is getting too socialist?! ;) No, those Halloween lantern pumpkins are not good for eating.

A good reason to put discarded pumpkins in the food recycling bin. Most of the garden produce at Attingham is used in the café or sold in the shop. If these large pumpkins are not food grade I know that they will be used in an environmentally sustainable way. I didn’t know that. A good reason to put discarded pumpkins in the food recycling bin.

I am probably biased because I am an Autumn baby. The colours fill me with joy as do the leaves falling and swirling through the trees. Autumn is one of my favourite times of year.

I do hope these pumpkins fare better in Attingham! Turn them into pies instead.
