Do the new ones count towards that achievement?

Just tried it, and nope they don't!

Yeah.. Do you think they are going to, though? I wonder whether it's worth keeping the pumpkins for that achievement.

nuuuuu I just tried it and it didn't work :(

I hope it's supposed to and it's just a bug that they aren't now. I mean, I know it says "Fresh Pumpkins" (aka the pumpkins from 2010), but the pumpkins from last year ("Freshly Picked Pumpkin") worked...

I do hope that this gets changed...

I hope so too, or that's ridiculous

Last year the Freshly Picked Pumpkins didn't work for this, but now they do. I gave a Fresh Pumpkin and a Freshly Picked Pumpkin to somebody, and these still work.

I think they also shifted the Picked ones to allow them to get older carves, instead of just the carves for last year.

There is a thread in Problems & Bugs, so far no official response that I can see. It may be intentional.
