I can't really plant anything in the front of my house, it faces North and there is a huge tree, so it gets little to no sunlight. These were easy and can be moved to get their daily sun. All I did was cut the top off, cleaned it out, made drain holes in the bottom, added a little potting soil and then added the mums. Simple.
I also saved some of the pumpkin seeds to "attempt" to plant in the back yard in the spring.
