Pumpkin Crafts and Recipes

Thirty-One Days of Halloween

Day 3

Pumpkins

Happy 3rd day of Halloween!

Only 27 days left until Halloween.

Today the topic is PUMPKINS! They come in all shapes and sizes, are beautiful to decorate with and taste delicious :)

Have you ever had the privilege in growing a pumpkin? We have. One year,before we bought our Organic Blueberry Farm -Middle Creek Blueberry Farm, someone dear to us let us plant an acre of pumpkins and pop corn on their land. It was a great experience and is what got us to where we are now.

We grew pie pumpkins, carving pumpkins - great big ones and other squash (such as acorn, spaghetti and Hubbard).

We tended to those pumpkins and corn everyday after work. Watered, picked weeds and checked on them often. I think they grew so well because they could feel the LOVE :)

At harvest we carefully picked each one and loaded them into a truck (which ended up taking 3 or 4 trips) to Grandma's house. She lived on a busy highway- a perfect place to display and sell the pumpkins. We decorated her yard with the pumpkins, corn fodder, hay/straw bales, squash and even made scarecrows. We also had a vegetable garden and made fresh salsa and had herbs for sale.

We sold every last pumpkin! Apparently we were the only ones around for miles that had any luck with pumpkins that year-it's the love I tell ya!

Since we moved here we have had a hard time growing pumpkins- we don't use pesticides and the bugs here are much more plentiful. So we purchase our pumpkins from other had working farmers. We got two already, thanks to Andy at the Kingsport farmer's market. One was a Cinderella type pumpkin(field pumpkin) and the other was a green warty apple gourd-makes me think of a witch.
