Ha!
I don't know.....to be honest...I never did any of those before.
I haven't even gotten my pumpkins yet....so when I do I will see how many of them I actually do.
I think I will definitely do the oil on the cut parts and the cinnamon, as I can actually see those really helping!
Oh...and the battery powered small candle light...I just bought two of those at a craft fair and seen that Oriental Trading Company had them too (really cheap). They are just safe and they look like the real thing!
AND my porch is shady...it is an 8 foot wide covered porch, so they will be out of the sun.
