It's pumpkin time!  As you can see we are eager for pumpkin fun and we look forward to seeing everybody at the patch!  The pumpkins are 25 cents per pound and the Nursery Tour Hayride is 2.50 for a ride through the nursery for fall color as well as a little Halloween Fun.  Also the Field Trees are available for reserving to be dug during the dormant season.

October Sale List

For almost 30 years the Job family has grown and sold pumpkins on their 36 acre nursery and tree farm just north of Pasco in October. We as a family enjoy the magic of the pumpkin patch, where we get to see so much creativity and family entertainment. We also have a great deal of fun with pumpkins, here how the Job family plays with pumpkins...

Arthur Job enjoys taking different types of pie pumpkins or winter squashes to try different recipes to make excellent pumpkin pies, cheesecakes, and breads. He will harvest pumpkins from the patch make a pumpkin puree as his base and then he plays. He will treat the family to his experiments all winter long.  On a side note he freezes the puree to have a good supply of it all year long to allow him to play his recipes when he has the time or the occasion to do it.

Brothers, Duane and Richard Job enjoy oven roasted Hubbard squash with a little brown sugar and honey.  They cut it into slices and roast it to how their grandmother would do it for an autumn treat. They also pick and deliver pumpkins to their favorite restaurants to help decorate them for the fall.

Alex Job and his wife Heather love creating a cool thrill for tricker treaters by lining the sidewalk and driveway of their house with carved, lit pumpkins on Halloween (last year Alex and Heather used about 30 pumpkins). Alex takes a basic approach to his pumpkin carving, where he carves simple faces into them.  Heather prefers to carve elegant scenes into her pumpkins. Either way the house of carved pumpkins is a hit for both kids and adults as they wander the neighborhood seeking treats.

Kathy Job loves doing things with the mini pumpkins by painting faces on them and decorating her home with pumpkin or gourd arrangements. They were really neat growing up as a child with those arrangements for Thanksgiving.

This years experiment will be to make pumpkin planters by hollowing out the pumpkin gook and replacing it with potting soil. Then plant fall plants in them like coral bells, kale, pansies, ajuga, mums, and ornamental grasses.  Then water your new fall scene occasionally to keep things moist. Also remember to set your planter in the flower bed to keep the potential mess of the concrete.
