IS THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER... a time for pumpkin displays or not? One could easily argue that the season for jack o'lanterns has now officially wrapped, along with the time of handing out candy, donning costumes, and decorating with plastic mice and spiders. But pumpkins? They still hold beautiful court right through Thanksgiving, and maybe even all of November, if home-oriented shows and magazines are to be believed. But believe your own tastes on this matter: If you do adore a good gourd, and you wish that the fall feel would last a few weeks longer, continue to rock the squashery. And rocking the squashery just got a lot less expensive, as it usually does after Halloween, around the region, and very much so at Tanaka Farms, which posted about a big...
PUMPKIN SALE... on its social media. The Irvine-based agricultural destination, which has been an bountiful Orange County grow place since 1940, announced a first of November pumpkin sale on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 1. How sale-y is this sale? Oh so sale-y: You can wheel out, as in a wheelbarrow, a caboodle of pumpkins for ten bucks. Make that a caboodle of pumpkins "from the field," making the whole money-saving excursion even more fresh-air-esque. And there's more from the "money-saving excursion" front: Admission to the farms is free. A posting on Facebook says that the fields "...will soon be converted to winter crops," so everything pumpkin people can do to help remove those autumn orbs is a good thing. Ten bucks, a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins, through 5 p.m., and.... go! Pumpkin season is still on, even if we've bid jack o'lantern fun adieu for another 11 or so months.
