Photo of the Day: Warty Pumpkins
I found these ridiculous wart-covered pumpkins at the quintessential country food market, Delicious Orchards, in Colts Neck, New Jersey. They don't necessarily scream "take me home and cook me." (Who knows what limbs you might grow afterward.) But they make for great front porch Halloween decor.

Despite the cheery orange color, I am disturbed by those wart bumps! I really need to stop looking at them.

Ew. Perfectly gross...wonder if I could find any here in Ohio? Does anyone know if that is an actual variety of pumpkin?

They are apparantly bred to wart up nice and ugly on purpose. Here's an interesting link:
