Pumpkins, warty and otherwise

October 11, 2022 5:00 am

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

You never know the size, color and some other aspects of the pumpkins you can spy at Ontario Orchards.

I don’t recall the good folks at the Oswego farm stand putting out warty pumpkins in our visits years past.

Carved or molded?

Nor have my dear wife Karen and I have spied these decorative pumpkins that are surely inanimate. My first thought after a touch was that they’re made from wood. Then, maybe, ceramics of a sort? Concrete?

In any case, I hope roamers in their new neighborhoods do not attempt the traditional grab-and-smash!

  1. While I never have seen them called “warty,” we do see a lot of folks selling them. However, I am wondering what is going on with those pumpkins on the ground. It’s like they were “shaped.” Different to me, for sure.

    1. Yes, better left for Halloween scary stuff I think, David. There’s some reason they’re priced at 60 cents each.
