    These make great decorations and are also edible! Just cut off the top like you would a big pumpkin, use a melon baller to remove the seeds and stringy pulp, add some butter and seasonings of your choice to the inside -- or stuff with whatever you like, as you would an acorn squash -- and then bake for 30-45 minutes, until tender.

    Tiny little pumpkins used for fall decorations. These sell at the grocery store for a buck apiece around Halloween. Why not grow your own, each vine produces 6-10 little pumpkins. Great kid project.
