HOW TO TAKE A PLAIN PUMPKIN AND MAKE IT A SPECIAL PUMPKIN!!!
We all love pumpkins, but imagine just how much more we would love them if they were engraved – as in by Mother Nature.
I saw some engraved pumpkins growing in the garden of a French chateau on my bicycling trip there last month and fell in love with them. Isn’t it cute!!! The steps to achieve this engraved look are simple.
1. Select a plain pumpkin while it is still growing in your garden.

2. Using the end of a knife, carve a message on it.

3. Let it continue to grow in the garden.

4. Meanwhile, it will form a crust making the words you engraved in it easily readable.

And when it is ready, it will look like this. To make it even more special, carve your message in French. Oh, la, la!!!!!
Take care.
