Fancy pumpkins and fall.

I didn't get to visit any of the pumpkin patches in Half Moon Bay when I was there so I had to make sure I fit in a trip to one before Halloween. I'd been really wanting to find some unusual pumpkins this year to pile on the porch and keep around the house, so I took a trip to Borchard Farms in Castroville last saturday. In addition to the typical orange pumpkins they have every kind you could possibly imagine! White ones, black ones, green, pink, speckled, spotted, you name it! They also had tons of gourds and various squashes. I didn't take many pictures because I was distracted by the awesome selection, but here are a few.

Here's our haul. They had little flat bed carts that you can pull around the patch. I had a painting project in mind for the white-ish one in the front. That spotted green on in the bottom right is my favorite, but a close second and third are the pink one and the black (!) on in the top left. So cool!
