Currently tweaking this one -- it's a little below 5x at the moment following some copyedits to the lead, but I expect it to bump back up the threshold soon. A suggested hook:
ALT1: ... that a variety of the Connecticut field pumpkin is known as "the original commercial jack-o'-lantern pumpkin"?
Sourced inline to a couple different places, none of which I can access right now, so will need double-checking for verification but is a good one if it works.

Comment: I think that if we include an image, it should be of a Jack-o'-lantern rather than an uncarved pumpkin because 1) it's what the hook is about, and 2) because it would be more thematic for Halloween. I recommend

The hook is sourced, and it checks out. It's long enough, new enough, and the hook is interesting. Overall, it's good to go in my opinion.
