Pumpkins are the symbol of a fall celebration and are found on most door steps from early October through Halloween. A Jack-o-lantern is perfect for carving. Large in size, these type of pumpkins have strong walls, and a hollow center. 

Pumpkins can be purchased at local grocery stores, farm stands and pumpkin patches. The ideal location to find a pumpkin however is a pumpkin patch. Pumpkin patches typically include other activities such as corn mazes, country store, hayrides and more. 

Pumpkin patches are where you can pick your pumpkin right off the vine. Be sure it is completely orange. A medium size pumpkin is ideal for carving where as small pumpkins are best for cooking. Never carry the pumpkin by the stem or you risk it breaking off and your pumpkin smashing. It is suggested you "cure" the pumpkin by storing it in a cool, dark place. This  will toughen up the rind and help prevent rot.
