Celebrate Fall With Pumpkin On A Stick!

on September 27, 2009 at 9:00 AM

Until last weekend, I had never heard of pumpkin on a stick. It looks like mini pumpkins growing on a branch! Here's how I have it displayed in my home.

Interestingly enough, pumpkin on a stick is actually ornamental eggplant. It's typically used by florists in fall floral arrangements.

To get this look, I simply trimmed the branches and placed them in a tall, glass vase. Viola! A (in my humble opinion) gorgeous autumn decoration for less than $3!

Have you ever seen pumpkin on a stick?

I've never seen that before. I would to have something like that. We have little to no craft stores here in town. So we are pretty limited to what we are exposed to.

Hi googled a bit and found a hobby gardener that sells the seeds to grow yourself. http://centerofthewebb.ecrater.com/c/442052/tropical-and-rare-plants-seeds
