The Pumpkin Jack O'Lantern, 'Cucurbita pepo', is bred to be the "size of a human head", so go ahead and carve a scary face. The Jack O'Lantern is not just a great pumpkin for carving. The wonderfully flavored flesh is great for making soups, muffins, casseroles, pies, and many other nutritious dishes. They will store for month. Pumpkins prefer rich well drained soil that is high in organic matter. The soil should be kept evenly moist. Harvest before the first light frost or when the pumpkin foliage begins to dry out.
