Pumpkins / Gourds

We are now OPEN for you to come and get your Pumpkins, Gourds and more.
   We have big (120 pound) to small (1 pound) pumpkins along with an assortment of decorative and unusual gourds.  You can choose your pumpkins and gourds from the store displays or wonder through the vines in search of the 'great' one.
     Now if you are not familiar with pumpkin vines - they are spiny and prickly.  You don't want to wonder through the vines in shorts or sandals.   Most people want a pumpkin with a large stem still attached.  If you just pull a pumpkin from the vine the stem will normally break off where it joins the pumpkin,   therefore the stems have to be cut adjacent to the vine with shears.  We don't really want to give folks pruners to go out into the vines, so we will precut the pumpkins that are ready and leave them where the lay.  It appears that the  worms are taking of the leaves at the moment making it easy to see the 'kins out amongst the vines.
