We just had three pumpkins delivered for our front porch after viewing hundreds of them at our local grocery store and Lowe's (They wanted like $12 for a green pumpkin) and it's kind of crazy that there is a entire "food" crop that exists only to be displayed for a month and then throw in the trash. I mean sure, it's normal to always have fresh fruits and cut flowers in your house on display, you can ostensibly eat the fruit and the flowers are a fleeting reminder of the fragility of life that make a statement in your home, but pumpkins? They are neither delicious or an impermanent vestige of beauty, they are not pretty and they last the entire month on your porch and go into the trash looking just as fresh as when you put them out. Why do we collectively cultivate a massive crop of useless and not attractive vegetables for display one month out of the year?

Plus you can watch them degrade over time. One time ours got eaten by squirrels.

In Mexico where pumpkins can't grow because they don't have water and it's too hot they carve green peppers because it's mostly empty space inside like pumpkins. Halloween is also called the day of the dead down there, but it's the same thing.

I don't even like pumpkin pie or eating pumpkin in general, but they're incredibly worthwhile for roasting and eating their seeds

Those dudes who grow giant pumpkins for the fair get really into it. Perfecting their grow strategies year after year. 1000LBS ain't enough!

I got a big-rear end pumpkin at Sams Club and it sits by the door looking all festive. Eventually Ill let my little cousin smash it on the lawn and it will fertilize the Bahia. Circle of life poo poo.

I probably wouldn't get out of bed a couple days during the week if I wasn't leaving to pick up a pumpkin spice salted caramel macchiato, half caf half fat with almond milk.

Psycho Society posted:whoa. those are all your personal pumpkins? nice job. Fall fest, my friend. Your local gardening nursery might have one. If you're really lucky the nursery buys the winner and takes the biggest  and drop it from a crane at some gardening stores.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki7bhAPdfEQ

I love pumpkins! We go to a big farm to pick them out and do fall activities every year. Then we decorate with them, carve them up, bake the seeds, and after halloween they go into my compost heap.
