Pumpkins
 

When is the time to carve a pumpkin? I have never done it before but am going to this year... It's probably not to soon now.. When do you guys do them?

Got any pictures to post here of pumpkins you have carved in the past?

What, aren't Pumpkins cool anymore?

Pumpkins suck ass!

Just kidding.

I love pumpkin pie and pumpkin cake/cupcakes/muffins

I'm not sure what such ass means, but O.K, if you say so.......

I may carve one this year.Just do a classic scary grin and what not but I have seen some very cool ones.I seen one posted some where that a guy did of the Gears of War symbol with the crank and skull.It was pretty bad ass.I'll try to find it and if I can I'll post the pic on here.

We accidentally grew a pumpkin patch this year, so I guess we're carving our own.

They seem to like donkeys a lot over in the US

why type of pumpkins accidentally grow?

They rot within 3-4 days of carving, so you'll want to hold off until just a few days before Halloween...unless of course, you want to do more than one batch of Jack-o-lanterns this year.

This is what we did last year.

You can extend the life of the carved pumpkin by rubbing Vaseline on the carved flesh and the insides, thus keeping oxygen from getting to it and slowing the rate of decay.

I had one a friend gave me a few years ago, I let it sit in the backyard and get warped by the sun, I thought it ended up looking better....

But, I shale hold off. The one I've got is rather small, but I've seen some huge ones latley, I might get a few of them as well...
