A beautiful day to start off the 2017 Fall season! Lots of big pumpkins, small pumpkins and a wide array of pumpkin colors fill the stands. Mums and straw bales available as well as some gourds, working at picking more. Other items, including the kids’ games will be added as time allows. Pumpkins prices are $1 and up, and are grouped according to size/weight… $1, $2, $3, $5, $7, $10, and the giant pumpkins (100+ lbs) are individually marked.
September Rains Delay Opening Day
The abundant rain and forecasted storms will delay Opening Day until Friday, Sept 15. It’s been exciting to explore the maturing fields, begin to pick pumpkins and discover how the crop fared. Each year we try some new seed varieties as well as the old favorites, and each year the yield varies due to weather, germination, soil conditions, etc. We have LOTS of big pumpkins this year and a wider array of colors (white, blue, stripped, red, pink, etc.) than before. One new pumpkin variety features “naked seeds,” meaning seeds without a hull or shell… I can’t wait to toast and eat them!
2017 Pumpkin Season Opening Day
September 14 is slated to be the Opening Day for the Fall 2017 pumpkin season. Opening will be delayed in the case of very hot temperatures, or very rainy conditions.
