Tutorial: Flower Pot Pumpkin

This is not so much a tutorial, as it is another one of my “so-easy-even-Meg-can-do-it ideas” (I should really coin that phrase)

Last weekend, I came up with these festive centerpieces for my sister-in-law’s engagement party :

Here’s the how-to:

1. Buy a pumpkin a little bigger than your plant.
2. Cut a small circle around the stem of the pumpkin, just large enough to fit the flower in.
3. Hollow out the inside and throw the yucky stuff away (or go the extra mile and roast the seeds).
4. Plant your flower and fill in any needed soil.

So simple!
