Description: In honour of everyone's favourite gourd (The Pumpkin) and the fast approach of

Lanterns! If it relates to Pumpkins then you'll find it here! Did you know that the largest pumpkin ever grown
weighed 1,140 pounds? That's just one thing you'll learn upon your visit to Pumpkin Palooza! Happy Halloween!
The Gallery:
Gourd says 'You want to put that candle where?!?'
Where can you find the biggest
Pumpkins, powerful Pumpkin weapons, and the most delicious Pumpkin Food
in all of Neopia? Pumpkin Palooza
Of course!
Every year, during the last half of the Month
of Collecting, Neopians flock to the giant pumpkin patch, where
pumpkins of every imaginable size and shape can be found. These
Pumpkins are used to carve scary Jack-O-Lanterns for Halloween,
making tasty treats like pies or seeds, for making toys, furniture
and even weapons! Did you know there are even Petpets created from
Pumpkins? So many Pumpkin goodies, and you can find them all here
at Pumpkin Palooza! Not too keen on Pumpkins? Carve an Apple Lantern
instead! Want to know more about these Neopian Festivities?

*gasp* We are missing a few Pumpkins from the Patch, they
are still in the process of growing ;) We will add them as soon as
they are ripe! In the meantime, visit our wishlist

Pumpkin Facts
Pumpkins are fruits, not vegetables. Pumpkins are a member of the gourd family, which also includes squash, cucumbers, and melons.
Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years and are indigenous to the western hemisphere.
Pumpkins are low in calories, fat, and sodium and high in fibre. They are good sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, potassium, protein, and iron.
The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed 1,140 pounds. It was grown by Dave Stelts of Ohio, in the year 2000.
Pumpkin seeds should be planted between the last week of May and the middle of June. They take 90-120 days to grow and are picked in October when they are bright orange in colour. Their seeds can be saved to grow new pumpkins the next year.
The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was 350 pounds and five feet in diameter.
