Home | Uncategorized | P, P, P, PICK UP A PUMPKIN!

Halloween is almost upon us and pumpkin picking has started at many locations all around our local area.

If you’re looking for a pumpkin to carve a scary face in as tradition, or if you’re looking to change it up with a modern twist and turn it into a flower display, you will want to find the best place locally to spend a family day out selecting your perfect pumpkin.

There are many locations in our local area that you can spend a family day out picking your pumpkin:

Debdale lane pumpkin patch Mansfield Woodhouse NG19 7HA

Nottinghamshire ‘Pick Your Own’ Pumpkins, Oaks lane Southwell NG25 0RH

Maxeys farm shop, Brickfield farm, Hockerton road (A617) Kirklington NG22 8PB

Ashover family farm, Chesterfield S45 0BD

Plus many others!!

Just remember however you use your pumpkin ‘waste not, want not’, the pulp can be used to make lots of delicious recipes including a delicious spiced pumpkin soup https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/halloween/a535444/spiced-pumpkin-soup/  or even a scrumptious cake https://thebakingexplorer.com/pumpkin-spice-cake/  but if you don’t fancy cooking up a treat and eating it yourself,  don’t forget that local wildlife love to eat the seeds and pulp that you scrape out so pop it out in the garden rather than in the bin.
