of all the things i accomplished this weekend
unfortunately pumpkin carving wasn't one. i might buy some turnips on the way home for that 'slightly too poor to do it properly' effect

That is doing it properly.
It's a tradition that came over here from Ireland and was originally turnips. Emigrants took it over to the colonies and, as there weren't any turnips, adapted it to pumpkins instead.
So doing it with a turnip is authentically retro.
