The Perfect Pumpkin

With Halloween upon us, many will be going out and looking for the perfect pumpkin, to decorate. Either to decorate by painting it, or carving it, you will need to find the right pumpkin for the job.

When looking, have a good idea what you are going to be doing to your pumpkin, and what shape you will need.

Pumpkin patches will have any type of pumpkin you are looking for. And most have hayrides to get you there. So it's double the fun.

When picking out your pumpkin for painting it, you want a pumpkin with a body that is not to bumpy. A nice round or a nice oval pumpkin is the best choice here.

Big pumpkins usually make the best for carving. After gutting it out, it leaves plenty of room for your candle. You also want to look for pumpkins that have a good bottom surface. You don't want a pumpkin that is going to tip over easily.
