Pumpkins are pretty low on my priority list, but entertainment isn't really a good reason to throw useful stuff away. It's a waste of water, waste of growing space, waste of fuel for harvest and transportation, and obviously a waste of food.

And people don't realize just how much growing space pumpkins need!

Technically you can grow them with corn, but the US doesn't do companion planting so 🤷‍♀️

Yeah there definitely won't be enough room in there.

Anything is better than the garbage. Pretty sure.
