pumpkins after halloween?

[noodles123]

If I have non-carved pumpkins on my porch after Halloween, is that weird? I feel like it's okay through Thanksgiving, but I don't know...

Haha, I have about 6 left on my porch too, the leftovers from a pretty good first year harvest. We gave away a bunch to friends and family, carved a few, cooked some for us/birds/chickens, and here we are. I think they're a perfect decoration out there, up through Thanksgiving, along with a few dried corn stalks and hay bails

see, that's what I think I need to get in order to make it look less halloween--- hay bails and corn stalks

We bought the hay for chicken bedding, but we managed our own corn stalks. Crows and deer got probably half of the actual corn though

Oh, add in a few of those funny looking orange and green gourds, and a wicker cornucopia, and you're ready for Thanksgiving!

We stopped putting produce on the front stoop. Too many racoons, opossums and who knows what else always eats and destroys them. And I live in the suburbs of the largest city in the US!! All thats missing is deer and bears!

We've got the deer and bears for you, and coyotes, wolves, lots of others too. We're in the middle of nowhere though.

A long as they don't rot and aren't carved, pumpkins look fine up through t-day.
Especially as others have said, if you had almost any other thanskgiving-type deco. Even some colored leaves will work!

(I mean, folks eat pumpkin pie for thanksgiving... it's definitely a cross-holiday deco!)

I keep mine out until Thanksgiving as well as little pumpkin led lights. I think pumpkins are the perfect fall decoration, especially with my mums that are still blooming!

Oh absolutely and festive! Halloween is the kickoff for end of year festivities, why not prolong every bit of fun in the age of Covid!

It’s 2020. The rules don’t matter anymore. You want to put a Santa hat on your Jack-o-lantern? In June? Until next May? Do what makes you happy.

*exactly*. We haven't taken down skull garlands, light up witches, and bats yet! And we do. Not. Plan. To. Know what our plan is? HalloThanksChrismaGiving decorations. Until.... well, until we feel like taking them down. Skelleton lights on the Christmas tree? A-heck yeah! Also eyeball lights. Spoopy all the things! What's to say our tree topper isn't going to be a zombie turkey this year? Nothing. Nothing at all.



As long as nobody is getting hurt, do what EVER gives you joy these days.
