What the heck is that teal pumpkin about?

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

For those trick-or-treaters with special dietary needs, putting a teal pumpkin on the porch of your house around Halloween (or the sign shown below in your window) is an indication that your home has non-food treats available (such as glow-sticks or some small toys).

This way, children with food allergies, or other conditions that don't allow them to partake in the typical candy-fest that is Halloween, and yet they get to join their friends on their home to home trick-or-treating social even for the evening.

Alan May And in "real life," there's an edible teal-blue-green (organic) pumpkin out here in Washington which is the most delicisou pumpkin I've ever eaten. But I don't know its name or where it comes from, so I've only had it once! Lauren

That is a very clever way to let all kids know they are welcome.  Better than leaving them the ammunition that is normally called apples
