So as its coming up to halloween, i decided to go to a pumpkin patch this year! tbh.....i normally just go to a supermarket to buy my pumpkins but it just seemed so much funner actually being able to go and pick your very own!
I went to fox farm produce in colchester. I went on a good day...no rain meant not extremely muddy shoes!
i must say i couldn't quite believe all the different type of pumpkins you could choose from, i knew there was munchkin ones, but not blue pumpkins.....yes blue!! i have never seen these before! They had all different varieties that you could choose, from your normal pumpkins to all different types of squashes and as I said the blue/grey pumpkins which I believe are called 'crown prince pumpkins'.
Now even though it's a pumpkin patch and you can choose your own, they are already cut from the vines which makes it easier for people to grab and go! I went only a week ago, there was a fair few left but as the days go on they get less and less as Halloween approaches.
I brought 7 different types of pumpkins, which some I brought were purely for decoration purposes! And some are obviously for carving :) ......and still need to carve in time for Halloween!
