I think a lot of people confuse rutabagas for turnips. The key is to grow your own purple top turnips and let them way over-grown so they are big and woody, way beyond the edible point. Then they are hard enough to hold their shape but also much softer and a bit more flexible than rutabagas.

My ancestors didn't have pumpkins to carve, but they probably had a lot of these things in the garden by the end of October.
He will probably be shrivelled and even creepier by Samhain.
