Pumpkin Spiced Lattes may not everyone's cup of tea - or coffee - but picking your own pumpkins has taken off in a big way.
Once more of an American family activity, PYO patches are popping up all over the place.
It might not be quite Halloween yet but this little boy was clearly ready to get the carving set out and get creating a scary looking pumpkin.
The tradition of carving pumpkins, or jack-o-lanterns, began when early Irishmen immigrated to the States.
According to Irish folklore, Jack was a blacksmith who had tricked the devil on several occasions.
When he died, he was denied entry to both heaven and hell with the devil sentencing him to roam the Earth for eternity.

In Ireland, people started to carve demonic faces out of turnips to frighten away Jack’s wandering soul.
When Irish immigrants moved to the US, they discovered that pumpkins were more readily available and made better jack-o'-lanterns than turnips.
Pumpkin picking is a great family activity but at Millets Farm children can also play on the usual bouncy castles and trampolines as well as see three real-life military vehicles, including a Tank.
The Pick Your Own Pumpkin fields are currently open at weekends and daily from 9am to 5.30pm from October 15 until October 31.
It's typically recommended the later you leave it to carve your pumpkin, the better.
You could even carve it on Halloween morning - if there are still pumpkins to be found.
So get your wellies on.
