Pumpkin picking is a celebration of a farming culture at harvest time, when hearts and minds are full of the bounty of the harvest. This is the time of year when pumpkin is iconic. Between Halloween, harvest decorations, and Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, it's the season's symbol..(?) In 1584, the French explorer Jacques Cartier reported from the St. Lawrence region that he had found "gros melons", which was translated into English as "ponpions," or pumpkins. In fact, pumpkins have been grown in America for over 5,000 years.
