新鲜的南瓜可能会在万圣节的时候最终变成南瓜灯。
Fresh pumpkins might end up as jack-o-lanterns at Halloween.
杰克南瓜灯也就是南瓜灯，是从爱尔兰开始。传说爱尔兰有一个名叫 Stingy Jack 的男子，有一天邀请恶魔喝酒，因为喝完后没钱付帐，他就说服恶魔变成六便士来付酒钱，可是Jack并没有拿它来付钱，反而用一条银纸把恶魔镇住，让它出不来。后来恶魔答应Jack一整年都不吓他，杰克才放魔鬼出来。第二年的万圣节恶魔又出现了，它又答应不会来骚扰Jack一年，可是一年还没过完，Jack就去世了。死后，天堂不收他，因为他非常吝啬；地狱也不留他，因为他戏弄恶魔。无处可归的他，最后只好不停的走着，并提着白萝卜，里面放着魔鬼给他的炭火来照亮路面，找一个地方来休息。后来爱尔兰人就用马铃薯或是大头菜做成灯笼，在1840年代随着新移民来到美洲大陆，他们发现比白萝卜更好的材料，那就是南瓜；因此现在所看到的杰克灯通常是南瓜做的了。
万圣节刻杰克南瓜灯的习俗已经有几世纪的历史了。

美国人对南瓜的特别钟爱，是缘于他们的传统节日---万圣节，也是孩子们欢乐的节日。作为北美国家的传统节日，每年10月31日举行南瓜节。这一天，人们制作五光十色的南瓜灯，品尝花样繁多的南瓜糕点，还要举行南瓜大王赛。城里的人们用大集装箱从遥远的地方运来大南瓜，把里边掏空作南瓜灯，总想打破南瓜灯的吉尼斯世界纪录。
Now, the significance of pumpkin festival has gone beyond expelling evil. It becomes a festival to celebrate harvest and a happy festival for all people.
南瓜节现在已经突破了原来驱鬼的意义，而成为全民庆祝丰收的节日，全民欢乐的节日.
金秋是收获的季节。南瓜丰收了，美国各地都会举办大大小小的南瓜节，整个十月，美国人都围绕着南瓜，以各种方式庆祝着，十月也顺理成章地成为了“南瓜月”。美国各州、各地的大小城市都有过南瓜节的习俗。普遍把南瓜节定在10月，个别少数会选在9月末。南瓜美食品尝、南瓜彩绘比赛、南瓜雕刻比赛、南瓜比大小、南瓜比重量都是南瓜节上必不可少的节目。特殊一点的有南瓜花车【油】行、南瓜赛舟会、南瓜砸车会。
在童话世界里，南瓜子也有神奇的作用，它会让你的梦想成真。据说，在月底的那几天，准备一个新鲜的南瓜，挖出南瓜子，洗干净放在窗台上风干，连续三天晚上都对着南瓜子念咒：请赐予我神奇的力量，给我一双最美丽的水晶鞋吧。第二月的第一天，用干净的白纸把南瓜子包起来，把愿望写在纸上，埋在花园里，晚上等你睡着了，会有一双水晶鞋出现在你的梦中。
爱尔兰、苏格兰和威尔士的古西欧人叫德鲁伊特人，德鲁伊特新年在11月1日，新年前夜，德鲁伊特人让年轻人集队，戴着各种怪异面具，拎着刻好的萝卜灯(南瓜灯是后期习俗，古西欧最早没有南瓜)，游走于村落间。这在当时实则为一种庆祝秋收的庆典；也有说灵魂会在这个时候造访人世，据说要看到圆满的收成和受到盛宴款待才愿意离开。
南瓜起源于美洲，经由欧洲人间接从美洲引种到中国，已有500余年的栽培历史。如今我国是世界南瓜的第一大生产国和消费国，南瓜的栽培面积很广，全国各地均有种植，产量颇丰，南瓜除了作为夏秋季节的重要蔬菜，还有诸多其他妙用。

If pumpkins are exposed to too much sun. their beautiful orange color fades to yellow and since we buy pumpkins for their looks . these farmers can’t sell them. When the pumpkins are ripe, harvesters worked together. Cutting the fruit by hand. It’s a fruit. During the growing season we do not walk out in our vines. We don’t want to damage the crop or ruin vines. So , we wait till harvest to see what pumpkins we have. We have no idea until harvest. If Duffield’s wanted to sell these pumpkins for processing. They wouldn’t make it past the factory door. Because the truth is, canned pumpkin isn’t pumpkin at all. At least not the kind you’d think. Our Halloween pumpkin is bred from looks. Not taste. So its flavor is pretty bland. There’s not even much flesh. The hollow core is a tangle of fibers and seeds.
