PUMPKIN

Bad news and good news, friends: The beloved band is not coming to Houston, but the green effort designed to create nutrient-rich compost with your discarded gourds is most definitely coming to H-Town this fall.

A 2,554-pound pumpkin grown in upstate New York broke the previous national record by 24 pounds.

A great fall tradition is roasting all the pumpkin seeds that you scoop out of your soon-to-be jack-o’-lantern -- and you’ve more than likely done it in the oven.

Looking for a way to incorporate fall into your home decor, without spending big bucks?

Have you wondered if your favorite canned pumpkin brand actually has real pumpkin?

PSL lovers, it’s finally here!
