TONS OF PUMPKINS STILL LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME!

IS THIS SEAT BELT ON RIGHT???
Yes, before this prize jack-o-lantern and his pal left the farm, they were safely strapped into the back seat of the car.   Hope you have a great Halloween, and stop out to the farm!  We wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween.  The weather man says our area is going to get clobbered with heavy rain and even a thunder boomer or two.  Many local towns are just now deciding to move "Trick or Treating" to the weekend.  For our readers from other lands, adults and children dress up in silly costumes and go door to door for candy!  Many pumpkin carving parties are also becoming popular, as well as pumpkin painting.  Some of our stranger varieties already look like they are from outer space!  Because of our seed sharing program, maybe you will want to grow a few for yourself next year.  Just let us know.    Choo Choo

PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS, EVERYWHERE!!

Just a few of the 100's of pumpkins we grew this year!

 
Nothing is funnier than watching a child pick out their first pumpkin!  And, with the selection we have, the choices are over whelming!  Since we have so many sizes, shapes, and colors, it is definitely not like  picking out a pumpkin from a giant box from the grocery store!

One thing that really surprised me this year, is the number of "imported" pumpkins the markets were selling this year.  I was a the local Super Center and they had boxes from 3 different states!  None of them were from Ohio.    But, the "carver" has become a commodity these days.   We grow allot more varieties than just orange !!! People are still finding their way out to the farm, and are always amazed at what they see.    I dare anyone to find a better selection than what we grow!  And, if you love to bake, we have the perfect pumpkin for you!   Your Pal Blu Bear
