HARVEST DISPLAY PLANNING BEGINS....

Fall Harvest Display Planning
This is the most fun part about growing a pumpkin patch!  We've got a great colors to show off this year, and we can hardly wait!  We'll start picking winter squash and pumpkins this weekend.  Most stores are already getting in their shipments from other farms  but a bit too early for our standards!!!

Many varieties shouldn't be harvested until the vines die off.    Some winter squash are best picked only after the first light frost.  But, if you buy a "CARVER"  for Halloween that was picked in early September, it might look great now, but good luck having it survive  until October 31 !!!  We grow over 17 varieties, and if you look at OLDER POSTS from last year, you will get an idea of whats to come! 
Now Thats Color !!!
