When I was a kid, only one of those — the round, orange one — would have been considered a “pumpkin”. Most of them would have been rejected as “squash” or “gourds”, and I suspect that genetically, that’s what they are.
What you can do with pillows, shoes, candles, soaps, and bath towels, you can do with pumpkins I guess. I imagine Arlo won’t be allowed to carve any of them into a jack-o-lantern.

PLEASE don’t do the same thing at Christmas, Janis. You don’t have the room.

I think Janis got suckered by an ad from the Pumpkin Growers Council.

Vaguely Jack-O-Lantern size orange pumpkins on special this week…. about 4 to 6 dollars in various places.
That size white pumpkins at Trader Joe’s $6.
All those different colors and larger sizes usually only found at a farm stand or pumpkin patch… at least $10 to $25 apiece around here.
Magazines can be expensive.

What? They didn’t get their pumpkin(s) from Gene and family?
Well, they seem to have virtually forgotten the kids’ existence. We don’t even see them exchanging cards or phone calls on holidays.

What with all those pumpkins, they had better hire a Peter so they don’t all go to waste.

the farm we went to had all odd ugly pumpkins so we went to Walmart and got nice fat round ones for $3.28 each. Good for a Jack O Lantern

We’re making minions out of ours with acrylic paints and googly eyes with my great granddaughter today.

We need to relate gourds to more traditional holidays. 4th of July. St. Patrick’s Day. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Etc.

who could afford to buy so many ugly pumpkins and what was the magazine idea?
