I got a surprisingly nice pumpkin at TJ’s yesterday for $2.99. Maybe it was Saturday. It was kind of medium small but made a lovely jack o lantern. They had a larger selection of those lumpy warty ones, all sizes, for $5.99 each. They look good carved or uncarved.
Getting pumpkins at the right time is tricky. We bought some too early and they rotted – even uncarved. Waiting too long makes selection slimmer, of course. Such a precarious business this carving tradition!
