Evergreen Pumpkin Patch, JP Total
Halloween is for kids big and small and a trip to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin really makes you feel like fall is in the air. With the crunch of fallen Aspen leaves underfoot and the nip of frost in the air there is something about picking out the perfect pumpkin for carving that just makes you feel like time has stood still and for a short while you allow yourself to be a kid again, coming up with the best pumpkin carving.
My first trip to the JP Total Pumpkin Patch in Evergreen was a number of years ago, I went with my sister, and we picked out a number of pumpkins that we thought were going to make the best Jack-O-Lanterns. Each year the pumpkin patch has become bigger and better with all kinds of fall items to choose from; corn stalks to decorate your home, fancy gourds, straw bales, Indian corn and just about everything you need to make your house look the part for fall and for Halloween. When you go, try the fresh Colorado apple cider and remember to bring the camera and snap a great shot of the kids among the pumpkins.
Oh, and our Jack-O-Lanterns came out great, they lasted quite a while before the first snows came and made them twist and turn out of recognition, then they made it to the compost pile.
J.P. Total is open every October and is located on Hwy 74 in Evergreen.
