Don't need more IQ than a pumpkin to be a pumpkin farmer.
Yep, they need sunlight and water... and leave only one fruit per vine.... pumpkin needs very little added fertilizer... most of its growing energy is derived from sunlight, dincha ever wonder why pumpkin vine leaves are so hummongous.

That's just not true. Pumpkin flesh is nothing for a squirrel to chew through, even with mammoth pumpkin size does not matter to a female squirrel when she wants nuts.
Btw, the only thing that differentiates a Halloween carving pumpkin from a pie pumpkin is shape-configuration (which is esthetic-subjective anyway), they're all good for pie-they're all good for carving.... smaller ones typically have a greater flesh ratio to seeds-strings so they cost less per pound of usable flesh but they don't taste any better... pumpkin pie flavor is derived from spices. And moisture content of pumpkin flesh has to do with rainfall, not size... in fact those jumbos are more moist because if they weren't watered profusely they'd not become jumbos. Jumbo contest pumpkins make excellent eating... but for pie you want fresh picked, not some old bag that's been flaunting her stuff for months... by the time any pumkin is two weeks off the vine it's already pretty well fermented and except for a heavy hand with the spice would taste pretty awful... by the time soft spots appear they're only good for wildlife fodder.... pumpkin doesn't ripen off the vine.
