PUMPKIN PICKING TIME ALREADY? 🎃

Shanus — Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:11:38 GMT

Just watching my recorded PM Style w/ Jane T. During the Vince Camuto crossbody bag presentation, she said it’d be perfect for pumpkin picking!

I get my pumpkin from a corner stand, near my house. It definitely doesn’t require changing my bag or a special outfit. Besides, Oct. 31st is two months away. 🎃

I'm already on the lookout for a pumpkin to pick out and put in my yard. I'll start with the first one I see and go from there, putting any and all neat ones I see in the front flower beds!

Sometimes the first ones go bad and have to be replaced but that's part of the fun. I buy from local churches, garden stores and anywhere I see a neat one! Sometimes Whole Foods has some great ones at good prices--unusual from the more common round ones and pumpkin color ones!

It's fun!

@Shanuslol I think certain sales lines must show up on the hosts' "tickle lists." Are they all into fall topics?

I'm not headed to the pumpkin fields at all, but I have been looking at my sunpatients and wishing for mums, so I guess it's time for fall talk. I just don't have to buy a new tote, sweaters, scarves, etc. But that's me and I'm not anyone's target shopper right now.

If QVC thought that their pumpkin schtik would work in February, they'd use it.

@Shanus, thanks for the laugh! It reminded me of the days hubby and I used to plant pumpkins in the garden for the grandkids. One year we must have planted them way too early as they were getting pretty big by August and taking up way too much real estate, crowding my corn, tomatoes, peppers, etc. We decided to pull them out.

That year about a week before Halloween my oldest grandson called and said, "nanna, mommy said we're going to spend the weekend at your house. Can we pick our pumpkins and carve them?" "Why sure you can kiddo," I replied. I took myself to Shop Rite, bought a bunch of pumpkins, put them in the garden and when the kids came, they ran down and "picked" their pumpkins. Turns out Shop Rite didn't care what I wore while I pumpkin picked, they just wanted their good old USDs!

It just doesn't bother me, maybe because I know a fair number of people who actually do go pumpkin picking. Same with apple picking -- in certain areas, it's not uncommon.

People around here actually do go pumpkin and apple picking, so that sales tactic doesn't sound as absurd around here.I can't wait for all the pumpkin spice products to hit the shelves. lol

@cherry. We have one of those places on the other side of the mountains. They have acres and acres of pumpkins and an assortment of other attractions. I've been by there in the fall and have seen dozens of school buses in the parking lot.

@jonbon

pumpkin picking

apple picking

berry picking

peach picking

they are ALL quite popular in our area. it is a rite of passage for most elementary school kids to take a field trip to our local farms during autumn to look at the best pumpkins. one of our local places also has a HUGE pumpkin contest to guess the number of seeds in the pumpkin OR its weight.

hearing the words pumpkin picking brings a smile to my face because my favorite season is on its way!

I just don't see anything funny or bizarre about talking about pumpking picking in the fall. It's what people do along with football, tailgateing, Halloween, carnivals, fairs and all such things. What's the big whoop about it? I don't get it.

I always go pumpkin picking whether at the church pumpkin patch, the grocery store or where ever I find them. Don't you pick out your pumpkin?

I can't stand anything pumpkin spice flavored, so that just goes in one ear and out the other for me.

Next to Christmas, Fall/Halloween (also known as Falloween) is the most lucrative season for retailers. Stores in our area are stocking up on seasonal fashion, home decor and cards.

In our area haunted houses, hayrides, and pumpkin picking begin in late September. When our Grands were younger, I wore QF holiday sweaters for their enjoyment. I also remember wearing D&C barn jackets when I went on fall outings.

I heard this AM Pumpkin Spice latte is coming soon to Starbucks. Pumpkin picking cannot be far behind.
