Guest Adviser: Shellac Your Pumpkin

Here's a timely tip from one of our Guest Advisers.  You too can be a Guest Adviser: Simply send in a tip, and if it makes the cut, up it goes.

Beth's Tips and Tricks:  I have a very useful trick for the Halloween season, which you can use for your blog if you like. [editor's note: Sure! We love Guest Advisers!]

Spray your pumpkins with clear acrylic spray paint before displaying them outside. It makes them look nice and shiny.  Even more importantly, it keeps the squirrels from eating them!

Those are some nice pumpkins!

Here's a picture of our shiny, uneaten pumpkins.  Going strong 5 days later!
