Hi Everyone.
I am looking for advice on where to buy pumpkins.
I saw on another site that, generally speaking, you can get just as good, if not better deals and/or better pumpkins at the supermarket than at a pumpkin patch.
Last year my family had our first annual pumpkinfest, which started by going to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins. It was not that close to where we live and was therefore, not that convenient. It was a nice patch (I guess, alhtough I have nothing to compare it with since it was my first trip to a pumpkin patch), and I got some really cool dark green and evil looking pumpkins. I suspect I would not find the dark green ones in the supermarket (we have large Super Stop and Shops here in the Boston area), but the trip to the patch did take out a chunk of the day.
If anyone comes from the Boston area, specifically the south shore, and knows of a great pumpkin patch, I would love to hear about it. Otherwise, looking for opinions on pumpkin patch vs supermarket.
Thanks.
