ITS PUMPKIN TIME IN TENNESSEE

Pumpkin Time in Tennessee is always great fun and marks the beginning of fall colors.

You can find a Tennessee Pumpkin Patch

in almost every County in Tennessee.

Sumner County Farms has at least 7 that I know of.

The age old QUESTION, how do I pick a pumpkin that will last? Here are a few tips.

Look for a pumpkin that still has it stem and if possible is green and is firmly attached, preferably 1-2 inches long. If the stem is missing or brown it may already be beginning to break down.

Don't buy one that has soft spots, mold or warts, yes pumpkins get warts, they are caused by a virus it doesn't affect us or the fruit, it just won't last as long.

If you paint rather than carve, it will last much longer also.

If you are looking for a great way to spend quality time with the family an afternoon at one of the many Pumpkin Patches should be your destination.

They have a lot of unique outdoor fun and an atmosphere where families of all ages can relax and enjoy the great outdoors together. Some of the activities you can find at various Pumpkin Patches are Corn Mazes, Fall Festivals, hay Rides, Cow Trains, Barnyard Animals, Picnic Areas, Gift Shops, Petting Zoos, Playgrounds..
