North Atlanta's Favorite Pumpkin Patches
In the United States, a Jack-o-lantern refers to a variety of pumpkin grown specifically for carving. Large in size, these type of pumpkins have strong walls, and a hollow center. Pumpkins are the symbol of a fall celebration and will be found on most door steps from early October through Halloween.
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. Here you can pick your pumpkin right off the vine and insure you have selected the freshest one. 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.
