I had to bi my first pumpkin today. I went to check on them and one was covered in mold. Another 3 have soft spots and might be carvable if I do them today although as its my daughter's birthday (no Ravens is not my daughter) I doubt if I will have the time.
I always purchase more than I need as I figure a fifth of them won't make it until the actual day. What worries me is the rate at which the rot has set in.
Still as I can't find either of my pro carving tools at the moment, I'm not really in the mood. Carving without them is like trying to walk with pins and needles in both legs, you convince yourself you can do it but the resulting sight is not pretty.
I'm sure they'll turn up. I just hope they do before any more rot. Each year I say that I will be better organised when in fact, each year I am even more unprepared.
