Slovenia

It is time to harvest. Students sorted the pumpkins into edible and decorative ones.
150 decorative pumpkins, more than 30 edible ones… is the final result of the harvest.
The beans have been shelled; sunflower seeds collected and dried.

On a sunny day, parents and children did a wonderful afternoon job. It was quick and, above all, fun. ‘Let’s do it every year, teacher!’
We used pumpkins' 'meat' for different delicious meals, and the seeds for bread and snacks.
Otherwise, the seeds are squized to get thick, odorous and precious pumpkin oil.
