Pumpkin Patch

These are some of the "pumpkin patches" I've checked out this year 2008. This is typical of Florida and it was only last year that I found out this is out of the ordinary as all other states have real patches where families can go on the farms and pick pumpkins off the vines. It's nearly impossible to grow pumpkins down here so they are trucked in from other states and these tents are set up at churches and schools. Yes we get jipped. And no one seems to have hard shelled gourds this year either.

But pumpkins are what Halloween is about so it's great to see so many in one place and so many types. I LOVE pumpkins. I wish these patches would stay up through Thanksgiving as pumpkins are for two holidays. But they are gone after Halloween.

I don't know the name of this song. Someone else had it on their pumpkin video. So if you guys can tell me who did it I'd love to get the CD as I like kids songs like this. And no it's not by Stephen Foster. That line is a reference to the music Camptown Races that it's set to that was written by Foster. So I still don't know who sings this song or what it's called. But it's so darn cute!

EDIT: July 24 2010, just found out the song. It's called Pumpkin Doo Dah Day by Earthlings Electric Washboard Band.
