Or, if you've gained the pumpkins' favor:
Despite the vines' apparent aggression, they allow you to approach and even offer up several smaller pumpkins to you.
You found: 4-5 tiny pumpkins
You found: pumpkin heart
Burn it all down (2 - 14 FP)
The vines lash out as you attempt to set them ablaze, the pumpkins snapping at you like so many heads.
(Fight Hanging Pumpkins)
Feed them

You've earned 2 XP in Strength
Or, after killing an executive (repeatable, but requires new kill each time):
You bring over the corpse of a dead executive, which pumpkins tear apart like ravenous beasts. You're not sure they need more food at this point, but they certainly seem to relish it.
You've earned 8 XP in Strength
Leave them be
Thankfully they don't seem very mobile, so you leave them for someone else to deal with. It's not your building, after all, so it's not your problem.
