Farmer David Bowman, from Spalding, Lincolnshire,England, has picked his pumpkins in time for October 31st.
The 3 million pumpkins he has grown have not been without their hardships - their growth has been hampered by torrential rain and heatwaves in the changeable British summer.
Fortunately for Bowman, 62, they have ripened at just the right time and are now being picked by 100 staff who are working around the clock to get them all ready for Halloween.
Workers are estimated to be picking around 100,000 pumpkins each day.
Bowman has admitted he 'can't wait' for November 1.
He said: 'It's been a very average year in terms of the pumpkin crop because the weather was either too dry or too wet over the summer.
'But we still expect to harvest around three million pumpkins which is a marvellous crop for an average year.
'We are so busy at the moment getting everything for Halloween and I will just be glad when it's all over on November 1.
'When you are carving out your pumpkin this year think about us harvesting in the wind and rain.'
