Pumpkins are harvested in autumn and most abundant at this time of year, along with winter squash varieties like acorn and butternut. They became a staple during Halloween in the 19th century when Irish immigrants brought with them the tradition of using pumpkins to scare evil spirits away. Soon after, many households also adapted this practice every October 31st.

How To Decorate With Pumpkins

Pumpkins are versatile pieces that you can use throughout fall, including Halloween and Thanksgiving. Display them in key areas such as the porch, living room, dining room, and patio to spruce up the space. Here are some of the best ways to use pumpkins as decorations.
