RALEIGH REAL ESTATE: PUMPKINS WITH PANACHE

By
Real Estate Agent with Raleigh Cary Realty NC Broker #178638

Scary pumpkins

A recemt visit to the North Carolina State Farmer's Market made me realize that pumpkins aren't the simple Halloween gourds they used to be. These strangely colored greenish ones looked especially scary!

Do you like your pumpkins traditional, or would you prefer something with a bit more panache?   Either way, there's a pumpkin for you!   As you can see below, one vendor had four different types to choose from.

Dianne,

What a wonderful array of pumpkins.  I love all the varieties and the colors of these pumpkins.  They are also good to eat, but I have to admit, I have not cooked on yet for a pie or anything else...just buy the organic canned variety...Have a great weekend, and it was fun talking to you this morning.

Debbie, I'd never seen anything like those bumpy greenish ones -- I think they're so cool.

Alexandra, I've never cooked fresh pumpkin either but I have fond memoires of carving them.  THANK YOU for the phone call this monring!  What a wonderful surprise  : )

I bought our pumpkins this year...and there is an assortment of warty ones, one like the top one and a real beauty: a brindled one. 

Thanks for the great shots, Dianne.  Happy Halloween!

Hi Ron. They're not your father's pumpkins, for sure!

Toni,  I'll take your word for the flacor.  It's easy to take pretty pictures of pretty pumpkins  : )  I'm using my iPhone as my main camera these days and it does a good job.

Thanks, Joni!  It comes from hanging out on Alexandra and Ron Seigel's blog -- I can't go to the Farmer's Market without looking for a photo op!
