On the weather forecast this morning they were also giving pumpkin patch updates, so we decided we needed to investigate this further! After a quick Google we found a patch just the other side of Issaquah at Trinity Tree Farm.
After a quick visit to the Vasa Park fall craft show and making a few purchases we set off to our first pumpkin patch! When we arrived it was surprising how many people were there although they are apparently quite a tradition here in the US – which makes sense with the amount of fuss they make about Halloween.
We parked the car and walked down to the pumpkin field, where by Harry’s and Toby’s estimates there were about 100-300 pumpkins. I think there were a lot more. You could take a wheel barrow with you to load with pumpkins but we decided not to as Tracy had already bought a couple of whoppers from the supermarket.
After having a good look round we finally selected one small, long pumpkin and 5 mini ones (plus a couple of cookies!).
I like pumpkin patches! I might start a pumpkin patch website soon but I’m not quite sure what will go on it.
