The Pumpkin Patch

October 22, 2007 · 5 Comments

We got the camera cord fixed and I wanted to share with you the process of putting up the pumpkin patch.  You start out with a big tent. The tent company installs it because it needs to be able to with stand winds up to 80mph.. By the way the wind is about 30-50 mph today!!

After that you have to wire the tent inside so you can have lights at night. The fire and city inspectors both have to approve. We are in a very nice neighborhood so they are a little picky. Here is the before pix!
Before the Pumpkin
After you get all that done then a semi comes with loads and loads of pumpkins. We actually had to hire 6 guys from the day labor to get them unloaded.
After we got some pumpkins
This was allot of work but it’s really cute inside now and we get compliments on how we decorated. I made Kevin pose for this picture just for the blog.. enjoy..

So all in all we are enjoying the pumpkin patch job. We have heard that this is much easier then selling trees. We’ll wait to see. It is a somewhat easy job so far but we haven’t been that busy yet. The owner is bringing another load of about 1,000 more pumpkins he says we are going to need them because it’s about to get “super busy”!!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy. Again please leave a comment and let us know what else you’d like to see on our blog!
One last thing I wanted to add. I know that our boss here is still looking for couples to sell tress. If you are interested feel free to drop us an email and we can send you his contact information..

    btw, where’s the cash register?
