We actually carved pumpkins this year! Well, Shane did it, and Adam and I watched. I did have the job of "gutting" them (and then cooking and freezing the flesh for Thanksgiving pumpkin-pie...yummm). No, you cannot find pumpkins like these in Sakhalin. The Russian pumpkin is much smaller (about the size of a cantaloupe). My friend brought the seeds back from California and her father grew them at his dacha (a Russian summer house). I think our pumpkins turned out quite nicely....and Adam agrees!
