Pumpkin Patch

I love living right down the street from a real pumpkin patch! A older farmer and his wife grow the pumpkins and sell them cheap. The pumpkins are only $1-3 depending on their size. We got 2 huge ones for the porch steps, 6 regular-sized ones so that we can all carve our own, and 4 gourds that the kids really wanted to play with, all for $19. Since our house is on a corner, we put some on the front steps and some on the side steps and our house looks decked out for Halloween. Speaking of decks, we put all the tiny ones we've been growing in our garden all along the deck railing and also on the porch railing. It looks great! The big ones we grew with the kids' names on them are all about rotten, so that's too bad. But we're still growing lots of mini ones, which is fun.
