We can range anywhere from $1 for the little ones all the way up to $10-15+ for a really nice size one. We just started picking yesterday and getting some on the front lawn, but I left before my brother priced them. It's all supply & demand, and what the nieghbors are asking for them. This year I think we can lower the prices a lite bit, we hasd a great growing season and our 2 acres gave us a whole lotta pumpkins. There's lots of reasons for scabby vs healthy. Some of it is bugs, weather, growing conditions, it happens for all sorts of reasons. We just pick'em, and put them in the right size range. Some people like the scabby kinda knarly pumpkins, while others like the more traditional plain-jane smooth orange ones. We've got a rather lareg selection of fancy kinds, some are a creamy green, some are white, some are a brihgt red and flatter. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say we have over 40 different types of squash, guords, and pumpkins. Plus corn shocks, and we need to get some straw bales yet. We grow indian corn too, but this year the weeds got it so we cut the really colorful stalks and made mini-shocks with them, hoping they hold their deep purple and red in the stalk as they dry down.
