'What happens in the pumpkin patch, stays in the pumpkin patch.'
Philippe BélangerI used to wonder why it was called the pumpkin patch and not the pumpkin garden. When I was growing up, our neighbour had a large vegetable garden. The main garden was full of the usual suspects, lettuces, carrots, radishes and cucumbers. At the end of the garden was where they planted rhubarb, and a few feet away was the pumpkin patch.
HotGuysAII ended up being quizzed by nieghbours when they returned home. They wanted to know if I'd seen anything, or knew who did that to the garden. I felt incredibly guilty, but didn't tell them that I knew who did it. I felt really guilty about it, especially when they gave us our pumpkin, as they did every Halloween. Because the pumpkins were at the end of their property, they didn't get around to destroying them, and they were spared the same fate as the cucumbers and carrots.
Leandro MalaquiasThanksgiving mark's the end of pumpkin season, and is usually the last time gardeners do much work in the pumpkin patch. They're planted in the late spring, and harvested in mid to late autumn. Although pumpkins made beautiful decorations in October and November, by the time Thanksgiving is over, no one wants to see them. it's like seeing people with their outside Christmas lights still turned on in February or March.
