Thread: First pumpkin

Tweet

I've been saying to myself that the first time I saw pumpkins for sale, I would get one and put it on the porch. Well, yesterday I saw some, so I got a nice medium sized round one and now it is indeed on the porch. Have you seen any pumpkins for sale yet around where you live, and have you bought any? I plan to get a couple more in October, but I wanted one early.

I also dreamed last night that it was October 31st and I went trick-or-treating (which I don't do anymore in real life). I thought, "Boy, Halloween really snuck up on me, but at least I got to go trick-or-treating".

I haven't bought one yet, but my husband stated today maybe I should go ahead and put a fake one in the window to get all the kids going.

Yeah, the fake ones last alot longer.

I bought one like 12 years ago and it still lights up!!

I haven't seen any for sale, but I did pick two out of my patch that the groundhog managed to not eat! I was sooo excited that my patch was doing so good and I had a bunch of nice pumpkins. The white ones were the first to go. Then I noticed all of the other ones that started to turn orange were being eaten. It really killed me when it ate my only wolf pumpkin. I was so looking forward to that! I did see two more that were still green. I'll have to go check this evening to see if they are still there. STUPID RODENTS!!!!

Going to the pumpkin farm is one of the best days of the season for me.

Sadly it's at LEAST the first week of october till they pick them around here.

Can't wait to haul up.

So far I have got 4 fake pumpkins and two real ones. When I was grocery shopping I saw some and just had to have them.

Of course we will still be taking my daughters to the pumpkin patch to pick their own. You can never have too many pumpkins.

They have lots of really nice pumpkins out here at my stores and the mums as well are all beginning to be set out. Fall is almost here....... it's a shame that it was 93 degrees here today ::sigh::

The only real pumpkin that I have seen for sale is the one from the MN. state fair. It was the winner and is 365lbs. They were taking offers but, couldn't gaurentee that it would last until Halloween. I did buy 3 mums though. lol In orange of course.

I haven't seen any signs of orange when I drive by a nearby pumpkin farm. I'm wondering if there will even BE any

My Wal-Mart had a bin of big orange pumpkins for 4.28 each last night.
