Ewwww, no, They go out for the compost/trash. I'm not going to eat something that's been sitting out that long!

I keep finding pumpkins that are perfectly good, that others have put out on trash day. Have you noticed tasty looking pumpkins put out on trash day in your neighborhood? Yes! Regularly.

This is the first year I started taking other people's pumpkins, when they are clearly put out for trash. (I'm not taking them from their displays!). I've been roasted the seeds, and using the cooked flesh for baking. Have you ever taken someone's castoff pumpkin? I haven't, and I think you're weird.

I haven't, but that's a good idea. It's a lot of super healthy food for free!
