OK had a strange question today. I'm selling some extra horse tack - and one of the buyers started talking to me about gardening. I mentioned the GP project - then took them on a tour...

They were amazed that 17 day old GPs were already the size of LARGE jack-o-lanterns! They were very interested why some flowers were tied shut - and never realized that squash/pumpkins had two different flowers..

They asked if I would sell them one - so they could have a golieth jack-o-lantern (and get on the news....).. I said I would - but I'd need to clean the seeds out, and the check would have to be written to my daughter's elementary (I'm a sucker for raising money for my school system....)

OK, I've figured out how to move it.. but how in the world would they carve it??? Electric saw??

Depends on if your Carving or Sculpting? Do a site search using the world sculpted.

i find a sawzall works well to get the lid off, last year my pumpkin was 14 inches think so it needed the longest knives i could find to finish the task.
