About this listen

This week on The Backyard Naturalists, we're revisiting one of our most popular and seasonally fitting episodes, "We're Talkin' About Pumpkins!" Originally aired in October 2021, this encore favorite is the perfect listen for fall. Join Debbie and Laurie as they explore the fascinating world of pumpkins, from surprising agricultural facts and record-breaking gourds to their valuable role in supporting backyard wildlife.

Did you know pumpkins are technically a fruit? Or that they can be repurposed after Halloween to help feed everything from squirrels and deer to backyard birds and even chickens? Debbie and Laurie share creative and eco-friendly ways to give your pumpkins a second life, including making your own pumpkin bird feeder! It's a fun, festive, and sustainable way to celebrate the season while helping nature thrive right outside your door.

So grab your favorite fall beverage and tune in to learn how pumpkins can do more than decorate your porch, they can help nurture the wildlife you love. 🍂
