200-pound pumpkin, anyone? Barton P-Patch event ahead!

| Gardening | West Seattle news

From Terri at Barton St. P-Patch in Westwood (34th/Barton) – news of an event starting at 10 am on Saturday:

We grew several pumpkins in our south border to keep our spirits up during the dusty construction phase of the garden. One pumpkin is approaching 200 lbs and we will be raffling it off at 3 pm. We encourage folks to stop by and see it (photos encouraged). Free delivery within West Seattle to the lucky raffle winner.

We will be carving pumpkins for donations and/or cleaning them to the “carve-ready” state. Many thanks to Tony’s Produce, who provided us a coupon for ten cents off per lb on pumpkins (coupon good Saturday only)

Here’s the flyer, which includes the coupon, and more information.

Wow that is SO cool. Almost a sign that this is THE PERFECT site for a p-patch!

I have two giant pumpkins, 300&400 pounds, I’ll be carving this weekend. I’ll have seeds available afterwards. Post up here if you’re interested. The plants do get very large as a warning to small gardens
