We'll also be wholesaling apples and pumpkins soon to local CSA's, processors, and produce auctions. |
The custom of decorating with apples, pumpkins, cornstalks, and autumn leaves has its origin in an ancient Druid autumn festival called Samhain. |
These lanterns were mangel-wurzels or pumpkins hollowed out with a ghostly face cut into them, illuminated by a candle placed inside. |
They now raise 30 acres of irrigated sweet corn, 10 acres of pumpkins, and 7 acres of vegetables, everything from acorn squash to zucchini. |
When illuminated with electric lights or candles, the pumpkins radiate the same muted colors as stained-glass windows. |
For example at the Show they had four varieties of rock melon, several of cucumber and eight varieties of pumpkins. |
