Pumpkin patch visit

If you still have not made the customary annual visit to the pumpkin patch and are unsure where to go, check out Where to find pumpkin patches website. This site is great because it not only gives you a directory of pumpkin patches (with and without hay rides) but it also has the history of halloween, how to pick a good pumpkin, how to carve a pumpkin, pumpkin recipes and more.

Yes, the popular places to go are Half Moon Bay's Pumpkin Festival (this weekend - Oct 17-18) where they have prizes for the largest pumpkin and Uesegi Farms in Morgan Hill with a train ride. But, if they are not close by and you would rather take an hour or so at the patch vs. a half day, then check out G&W Farms in Livermore. They have pony rides, corn maze, big patch, corn kernal play box and hay bale maze.

Happy Pumpkin Hunting!
