The Heat Wave is Ending

Today was cooler, only in the 80’s, no more setting record highs in California which has made it a real chore trying to get the pumpkin lot set up. Thankfully it is a bit different than the Christmas Tree lot. For Christmas, we start fast and end slow. On the pumpkin lot, we start slow and end fast. What I mean is we do our most business the first few weeks selling the trees, but with pumpkins we sell most of them the closer we get to Halloween.

Today, we also received many calls to set up field trips for children. This is going to be the highlight of this entire adventure. We schedule classes to come to the Pumpkin Patch and we entertain them with the maze/fort, the animals and the pumpkin painting. The only charge is $1.50 for the miniature pumpkin that they paint.

We also got another shipment of pumpkins, our specialty ones. These are so fantastic, now to learn all the names of them before the kids get here.












We took loads of pictures today and uploaded more photos of the Pumpkin Patch on our Picasa Web Albums, be sure to check them out.

Been trying to get the merchandise booth together and Jerry is losing it already.







Will make it 30 more days?

Yes, the heat wave definitely broke here in Pismo Beach today. In fact, the fog rolled in before dinner and it cooled off a bunch! Loved all the great pumpkin pics.

So glad to get caught up with you. May I ask a few questions ~ how did you find the job with the pumpkin patch? are you also doing Christmas trees in the same place? We are needing work and have applied with a few places for selling Christmas trees but have not heard back ~ any suggestions, maybe I am missing something?

Love your pictures of the many different pumpkins...wishing I was near our storage unit so I could get my Fall stuff out and decorate our motor home. Won't be back there till the end of October.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
