Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at 9:04AM While these photos were taken last year, Roger Reynolds Carriage House (Encinal Avenue, Menlo Park, CA) is currently stocking a selection of sensational squashes.
Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 4:51PM Start your engines and head for Roger Reynolds' "Pumpkin Patch" on Encinal Ave. in Menlo Park.
While watching, enjoy a little Vivaldi.
Talk about a terrific selection of wonderfully sculpted, creatively colored pumpkins! Definitely not run-of-the mill carving variety but lovely for your table or doorstep through Thanksgiving. Super- or gourd-sized.
Hurry before selection's skimpy. They're corralled in the Carriage House.
I chose ones that I want to grow in our garden next summer. Just collect/dry/plant the seeds in a sunny location this spring and you'll have your Very Own Pumpkin Patch in time for the holidays!
Truly a decoration that keeps on giving!
