Jack was active, good-natured and a general favorite; but his pumpkin head was likely to spoil with age, so in order to secure a good supply of heads he grew a big field of pumpkins and lived in the middle of it, his house being a huge pumpkin hollowed out. Whenever he needed a new head he picked a pumpkin, carved a face on it and stuck it upon the stake of his neck, throwing away the old head as of no further use.

I can very easily picture you and bean living in a punkin' patch-your house sitting smack dab in the middle! not so easily can I picture you both with pumpkins as heads but its worth imagining just for a little chuckle...
Such a great pic, makes me think of my Pumpkin Kid Film movie, lol.
