If you have children, or perhaps are involved with a school or community group, you can save the seeds you've scooped out and plant them together as a learning exercise that's great fun as kids love to see them grow. Also you could try using the seeds in a creative project like making a necklace or glueing them onto a box as decoration, etc. As for the skin of it I think compost is the best answer - or otherwise cut it into bits and see if wild birds will eat it, or pigs also like it if you know any!

If it hasn't started to rot already, maybe you could dry it in a warm oven (after cooking something), and then use it as a plant container, but composting is probably the best option.
