Last year, during the fall, we had a few pumpkins sitting around that baby crabapple tree (barely visible in the upper middle part of the photo). The squirrels pretty much left them alone until winter. It was very amusing to watch them slide around in the snow and nibble on the pumpkins. Eventually, the pumpkins were gone. Well, I guess they were only mostly gone, because in the spring we had a few unexpected seedlings sprout around the tree. We decided to let them grow, just to see what would happen. The result is a sprawling mess of pumpkin plants. Of course I'm not going to get rid of them.

Of course, the squirrels will end up nibbling on the new pumpkins... we may never see the end of this :-)
