After football today we headed over to the Pumpkin Patch at Barleylands and had a really fun time walking around and picking our own pumpkins plus a couple of sweetcorn pods as well. Unfortunately Holly had fallen asleep in the car so it was just me and the boys.
It was free to get in to the Pumpkin Patch but once in there you had to pay for your crops that you picked and it wasn't particularly cheap. The extra large pumpkins were £5 and then they went down in price in £1 increments to the tiny ones at £1 each. Then the sweet corn was 50p each. What was quite unusual was these light grey coloured pumpkins which I hadn't seen before. So we ended up spending more than I had hoped, but we do now have all our pumpkins ready to carve for Halloween.
