Halloween

I don’t know about where you live, but in Three Little Woods it gets pretty exciting when it reaches Halloween! Halloween is on the 31st of October, some people say the Halloween festival tradition is 6000 years old. When Halloween comes around everyone in Three Little Woods comes to my allotment to get their pumpkins.
A few days before Halloween I teach different people how to carve their pumpkins so they have a face and a lid.

Try to carve pumpkins in the week before Halloween this way you have it for a week until Halloween and it is still fresh.

Would you like to learn how to carve your Halloween pumpkin see the link below and see some different designs and ways to carve the best pumpkin around?

Halloween is now a fun festival but it has always been a scary one. On all hallows eve people used to celebrate their harvests but also the spirit of the dead.

Nowadays kids go trick or treating and get sweets and cake for great scary costumes. But don’t be fooled, in Three Little Woods you may get a trick rather than a treat...

Did you know that originally they used hollow Turnips instead of hollow Pumpkins?

Did you know that the Turnip is a vegetable and the Pumpkin a fruit?

Halloween is also a harvest festival I can show you how to grow pumpkins at home big or small so lots of you can carve your own pumpkins.

Have a look through the recipe pages on the Healthy Living section and try some of our Halloween treats, they are easy to make and taste delicious.
