Pumpkin patch practices and gourd garden grooming.
#55317
This is my favorite patch, located in Central Illinois. Great displays and a wonderful selection of over 300 varieties of squash, gourds and pumpkins. They have an awesome on-site bakery, cute pumpkin displays, corn mazes, sunflower mazes and a nice gift shop.

That is such a great place, I would love to go there.

Your hoard is fab. I love the fact that you have chosen such a variety of shapes, colours and sizes. It will look formidable!

The cute little pumpkin house is probably as drafty as the house I live in although looking at the pictures yours is probably more structurally sound with better plumbing and a more water tight roof

Wow, they have some of the most impressive displays I've seen. A tree, a house, an ark? Now just imagine all those clever display racks at night, with the pumpkins carved and lit. Now that would look great.

Oh gosh, they have so much I didn't get pictures of! The wall of squash, stacked to the roof against a barn. Chairs nailed to the barn roof with pumpkins on them, and every pumpkin you could imagine. It was beginning to rain and I only stayed a few minutes, Husband has offered to take me back for my birthday! :D

No way! That is so cool to know a minion that so close! Me and my family go to St. Louis all the time for baseball games. I hope you have fun on the brewery tours!
