Pumpkin Season

In the US, Halloween comes in October and that is the time to sell and buy pumpkins. They come in all sizes, some can be huge and can weigh upwards to a few hundred pounds. Tents are erected early in October and pumpkin sales are brisk until the last days of the month. The pumpkins are hollowed and carved into Jack-O-Lanterns placed in front of houses as tradition dictates. That's one good way to use a pumpkin and I hope all the seeds do not go to waste because they are a good source for Zinc.
