Meet Jack

This pumpkin is the smaller of the two giants we grew in the garden. We decided to carve this one up....Mike (Melanies son) was the talented carver. ....and we are keeping the big guy for pie ingredients. We actually had one more pumpkin in the garden that was mistakenly planted in the cucumber patch this year....oops....by the time we figured it out we decided to just leave it. Jeff made pumpkin pie from that one...and it was the best pie I think I have ever tasted. Supposedly, the larger pumpkins aren't supposed to be as good for pie making but everyone loved it. I suspect we won't need to buy a store made pie during the holidays this year...
