In Search of the Elusive Blue Pumpkin

In Search of the Elusive Blue Pumpkin! In Search of Blue Pumpkins

Last week I wrote about Blue Pumpkins and how great they are for cooking. Some people thought I was joking. Well Sunday I hauled my Five Pumpkins off to the Pumpkin Patch. The farm on Clayton Valley Road is currently in it's Pumpkin Patch mode before being turned into the Christmas Tree Farm.

In Search of Blue Pumpkins

The boys got to play in the Hay Maze, the Bean Pools (Giant Plastic Tubs filled with Beans) and do rubber duck races at the water pumps. The littler boys went on the Train Ride. Dad bought them all some Kettle Corn and then we picked out the Pumpkin.

We got one Orange one (to carve) and two big Blue Pumpkins for cooking.

A good time was had by all and Dad was allowed to fall asleep peacefully in front of Sunday Night Football as his reward.

Hey Gene - fun photos of your kids. Wow - you've got quite the family - all boys! Never a dull moment around your house I bet. Glad you got enjoy the game on Sunday!

We have one on the way. Next week we find out if it is a boy or girl!

I have never heard of blue pumpkins, but I had never heard of white pumpkins either until they showed up in the store the other day. I'm a traditionalist. Halloween demands orange pumpkins.

Gene,

Great pictures! So glad you found a couple blue ones. Hope you enjoy cooking with them!

Your friend in the Cosmic Cow Pie.

I didn't think you were joking in the last post, but I had certainly never heard of a blue pumpkin. Now you have me looking out for them when I see pumpkin patches.
