Refuse to believe people actually enjoy pumpkin picking

  1. Americanisms, like kids have a graduation ball now. Before when we finished high school, we would tart ourselves up and try and get into all the pubs/clubs in town and get shit faced

  2. I mean strawberry picking is much bigger, I don’t know many people who bother with pumpkins either way.

  3. They all do it for social media attention I swear. It’s one of those things everybody just *has* to do these days. Fucking stupid.

  4. I’ve never been to one before, but went to one this last weekend to get some pumpkins to carve and because they had a “maize maze” they’d cut into a field too. Was kinda shitty tbh. Most of the pumpkins were all fucked up and smashed and it looked like a bit waste. We did find decent ones but it seemed a shame to have such a nice idea ruined by people who couldn’t keep from smashing pumpkins harder than Billy Corgan.

  5. We did it once for fun, paid £40 and realised it wasn’t worth it. Won’t do it again 

  6. If true, this wouldn’t bother me. It’s better than wasting good farming land and growing time on a gross fruit that hardly anyone in they UK likes or eats. Bring back the old turnips. They looked more pagan and scary anyway.

  7. They aren’t all fake. I went to one last week and had to actually cut the stem to get the pumpkin.

  8. Have you picked real pumpkins before? Spikey leaves, spikey vines, massively overgrown, need a knife to cut them free.

    Having grown my own before, I’m quite happy that the farm we go to does all that shit for us. I can’t imagine the hellish nightmare it would be if they just let you loose in the field with them still on the vine.

    Or is it the supermarket bit that’s meant to be the big gotcha? Because yeah, I know the farm grew theirs, so that’s not true.

  9. Wait until they hear about “Winter Wonderland”.

    No, not that one. Or that one. Or that one…

  10. Who does this?

    Who told Americans that we do this?

    Why must we bother with Hallowe’en at all just because an American hot milkshake company wants to sell us a _Pumpkin Spice Latte_ in a red cup?

  11. Ah yeah, they’re fake, that’s why I cut them out the ground, and go home with ears of corn I literally cut out of the ground.

    We have a great day, we’ve got pumpkin chutney, pumpkin pie, and PSL syrup for dayssss, and the small ones had fun too.

  12. Picked up our pumpkins from a pumpkin farm that has a patch. Good trip out with the lad, good local pumpkins and cheaper than the supermarket.

  13. This person eats food by stuffing it up her arse then going online to shit it out her mouth.

  14. The local one I went to IS a farm where they grew the pumpkins there. You can luckily still see all of the plants roots and so on, all that’s happened is that they have cut them loose.

    They are still more expensive than super market ones by far, but I know it’s been grown there, and it’s a fun day out.
