It's time to start thinking about jack-o-planterns. This one, lasted about a week and a half sitting on my kitchen counter. The pumpkin planters outside did a little better - about two weeks. My advice, to make them last longer, would be to remove the plant before you water it. Soggy pumpkins fade pretty fast.

Step by step instructions for making a pumpkin container garden.

Line the pumpkin with a plastic bag – helps to keep from going soggy too quickly :)

Adorable! I like the way the tips of the leaves echo the color of the pumpkin, too.
