Few years back I decided to go back to the original concept and do turnips for my Jack O’Lanterns, and what can I say, I love the little guys.
They also fit on my windowsill a lot better back when I was in a small apartment without a proper front step/porch to put them.
Is it hard to hollow them out?
I just use a forstner bit in a cordless drill to do most of the work, so not really.
It would probably be a bit of a pain if you were to do it all by hand
