man, i remember as a kid going out to a pumpkin field and harvesting them ourselves. we would completely fill up a very large suburban with them. we had no purpose for that many pumpkins but it was just the thing to do.
a year or two ago i also tried to grow some pumpkin seeds from a monster record size pumpkin but i had bad luck and ended up with 2 very small pumpkins. had issues with some kind of pests. i really have to get a garden going next year.
Whenever I grow pumpkins I just get 800-1000 vine borers haha
that was my problem, i forgot what they’re called.
Grab a few and make some pumpkin fpj 
Poor pumpkins. Nobody likes them so one day each year we massacre them en-masse just to thin their numbers 
and carve evil faces into their heads. we’re savages.
I love this shit. I go every year to a hay ride and pumpkin patch at a local farm!
We do the same with the kids. They are getting a little older so I think it’s more fun for my lady and I 
That is an impressive pumpkin patch party! That’s a lot of pumpkin pies you could make also.

Those are pretty f’n cool @Oldjoints! My dad had the ability and vision for creating such things out of nearly any medium… especially pumpkins.
I can’t carve like that, that’s not my skill. My skill is growing plants of all sorts… my passion is collecting cannabis seeds to eventually grow them out and see what’s what.
There’s a pumpkin toss coming up soon, not too far from where I live in Illinois. Pumpkin catapults that launch large pumpkins thousands of feet away. Pretty cool stuff, man!
I watched a documentary on those once, crazy stuff. The big air cannons are seriously scary!
I enjoy growing pumpkins, but it’s been really tough. I planted two this year and they were doing really well until the squash bugs showed up. I was out there every morning a hunting and a killing ‘em, but they won and killed both of my pumpkin plants. Bastards!
