There is a church on the corner of Capital Circle and Mahan Drive that has a pumpkin patch every year. Ash and I bought from there about 5 years ago and it’s the honor system: how much do YOU think that’s worth? I couldn’t cheat the church so I got a big ol’ pun’kin for 20 bucks. But anyway, this cool weather is making me want to go to the patch, just to walk around. Another church does a better one (see Vine Pumpkin Patch pics, my photo album) but it isn’t up yet. I am seriously considering taking a 2 hour lunch and just driving around because it’s so beautiful today.
ETA: Some things I would love to buy:
Cool pumpkin stand
Post-its
and
kit
I already have a cemetary I put together but this is so convenient.
P.S. I got a pomegranite frappucino and a slice of pumpkin bread. Wow, it was good.
Sone of Edit: My office is a mess! I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon.
I want a pumpkin! I haven’t found any so far. Orlando eats punkins. It rots them and makes them icky. I had a punkin carving party last year and 2 were spoiled I was very sad. This year I hold out hope for happy punkins…
They have a spray you can buy at http://pumpkinnook.com/ which is supposed to make it last longer. I used it a couple years ago and got about one extra week. It was a particularly warm Fall so that may be why. It might last longer under better weather conditions. (That place’s store also has cool sticky notes!)
You should ask Jordan about lighting punkins on fire. Muuahahaha.
Heh heh I should show Jordan my video from 2002 – the year of the great pumpkin massacre – fire and hairspray and lighter fluid… we were pretty destructive back then.
Has everyone set pumpkins on fire?
Maybe we’re just weird.
Well that would make my husband wierd, which isn’t a shock. He was just a little too happy about setting a pumpkin on fire with charcoal lighter fluid. He has the seared shoes to prove it.
Wow: who knew a post about pumpkins would turn into setting them aflame and the weirdos who do it? Must be that kind of day.
oooh, I want a pumpkin.
And I think you overpaid… they’re about $10 I thought. But it is a church, so a bit more doesn’t hurt.
