The world’s largest pumpkin in New York
It just so happens that the pumpkin always symbolizes autumn. Maybe this is due to its color, which matches the color of autumn leaves, maybe because the pumpkin ripens by autumn … I don’t know. But the fact remains that traditionally New York City is decked out in autumn with pumpkins of all colors and sizes.
There are over 800 different varieties of pumpkin in total, and only 200 of them are edible. In addition to orange, there are blue, green and white pumpkins, spotted, striped, round, oval, smooth, pimply, large, small and huge.
Mexico is considered the birthplace of the pumpkin. I have no idea where the Russian word “pumpkin” comes from. But about such a cute word “pumpkin” I read that it came from “pepon” which means “big watermelon”. By port, the French changed this word into “pompon”, then the British also contributed and reshaped popmon into “Pumpion”, and in the end the American colonists intervened in the process of word formation and we already know the word pumpkin. Pumpkins were used by the Indians – they ate them, and food was poured into them – for example, they poured milk.
But an interesting Irish legend is connected with the tradition of carving all sorts of terrible faces from a pumpkin.
Irish Jack, nicknamed Stingy Jack, once invited the Devil to drink with him.
But Jack, well, did not want to pay for the drink at all and, on reflection, he suggested that the Devil turn into a gold coin, and then Jack would buy a drink, and then the Devil would turn back into himself. Damn did it. But, when he saw the coin, Miserly Jack decided that it was not worth it to prescribe gold, and put it in his pocket, where the silver cross lay, which supposedly prevented the Devil from returning back to his appearance. The devil begged Jack for freedom, promising that he would not annoy Jack for a whole year.
After some time, the story with the stupid Devil repeated, only this time Jack asked him to climb a tree and get an apple, and, so that the devil would not cry, he carved a cross on the tree … only this time Jack agreed with the Devil , then not only will he not interfere with him, but even after Jack’s death he will not demand his soul … Jack died, and naturally they did not take him to heaven, for his deceptions and stinginess, and the offended devil did not let him go to Hell.
And so poor Jack was sent into the Darkness and the only light in the form of a burning piece of coal.
| Upper West Side |
In order to carry this coal and not burn his hands, Jack dug holes in the pumpkin and carried this fire, wandering in the Darkness … The Irish began to call this ghost “Jack of the Lantern”, and then this name turned into “Jack O’Lantern”.
And so in Ireland and England, people began to carve scary faces out of pumpkins, put candles inside and put them on the threshold to drive away the ghost of Miserly Jack from the house. And they brought this tradition with them to the New World.
And now, as soon as autumn begins, pumpkins appear everywhere.

| The largest pumpkin in the world |
But most of all pumpkins are in the New York Botanical Garden, at an exhibition called Scarecrows & Pumpkins. There are not only all kinds of pumpkins, pumpkins and gourds, and scary faces carved from them… You can also see the largest pumpkin in the world, grown in 2017. This pumpkin from Washington state is not only the largest in 2017, but also the largest pumpkin ever grown in America. She weighs 2363 pounds – 1071 kilograms. The second largest for the same 2017 weighs 2269pounds (1029 kg) and grown in England. The English guest can also be seen at this exhibition. 
One of the most enduring fall traditions in the US is the pumpkin patch, to choose your own pumpkin to decorate or carve, and to get involved in all the fun fall activities that come with it. 
Travel beyond this east-central Illinois city to see over 300 varieties of squash, squash, and gourds from over 30 countries that are grown here. You can also visit local animals, including chickens, rabbits, alpacas and llamas. This pumpkin patch has been going strong for nearly 30 years and is open from mid-September until Halloween. Not only can you choose your own pumpkin, but you can also go through mazes, get on a wagon, buy seeds, and visit the on-site museum. Weekend rates for adults are $8, weekday rates are $5. 
But pumpkins, of course, are also a big part of the holiday. There are pumpkin cannons and Pink Pumpkin Weekend in October. General admission to this pumpkin patch and farm is $14.95 per person Friday through Sunday and $9.95 per person Monday through Thursday. After Halloween is over, you can return to Rob’s family farms to pick out the perfect Christmas tree, starting the day after Thanksgiving. 
You can come from 10 am to 6 pm from October 1 to 30 to collect your pumpkin, view the gift barn, take a wagon tour, ride a pony and get your face painted. The adventure zone has a cornstalk maze, a zoo, golf course and more. 
Festival weekends run from mid-September until Halloween. Entry to the farm is free on weekdays, and the $7 per person admission fee is only charged during the last six weekends of the season. Top attractions here include the Cackling Hen Revue Show, a zoo, face painting, caricatures, a pie eating contest, and a children’s craft. Every weekend there is also hay, a corn maze and giant pillows. Depending on which weekend you’re visiting, you can join in on the barbecue fun, watch the World Pumpkin Weigh Off, or enter a costume contest. 
Farm Hours: Monday to Saturday 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm. Entry day per week is $7 and weekends are $10 for children ages three and up. 
It has been in operation for over 34 years and there is no entrance fee to the farm. For young visitors to the farm, a 3D adventure, weekend hay ride, pumpkin/apple harvest and harvest. 
There is also a corn maze, animal feeding and pony rides. Some of the fun attractions here are fossil and gem mining, hayrids, corn cannons, gourd hunting, and enjoyable animals to watch. The haunted hayrides are offered from 7-10pm in October and the lights are on. Entry and parking for this pumpkin patch is free and you will only pay for other activities.
