It’s almost Halloween, which means everyone you know is probably posting adorable photos from the pumpkin patch. But folks looking for pumpkins to carve before the trick-or-treaters arrive may not be able to find the orange gourds at Home Depot locations in hurricane-ravaged Texas and Florida this season, as the retailer says it’s cutting back on pumpkin sales to let some stores focus on storm recovery.

The company — which usually sells about 1.5 million pumpkins per season — says it won’t be stocking as many of the seasonal gourds in areas that were hit by hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
