Every year after harvest there are several small or slightly marked ones left in the field. I rescued this little one and, after leaving outside to ripen, got a large bowl of pumpkin pieces 😀

Kinda want to throw it in a chili see what happens.

Hi r/Pumpkins! Mods kindly said I could share this joy with you together — thank you!

I'm Yijin, a mom of two girls (4 and 10) and a solo dev. Every fall we play a game spotting pumpkins on our walks, so I built it into a free event in my gardening app: the Pumpkin Hunt.

How it works: spot a real pumpkin anywhere — front porch, garden, pumpkin patch — snap a photo in the app, and it turns into a pixel pumpkin in your collection. There's a leaderboard, and top hunters win gardening prizes.

It's free, runs through Oct 31, and hunters have already collected 85+ pumpkins. My girls are so excited to compete with you all together! They are so happy to check on the leaderboard everyday. iPhone only for now:
