I had a fun work weekend taking a group of ladies to Fredericksburg for a wine tasting. Did you know Fredericksburg is in the Top 10 Best Places in the WORLD for wine tasting? We visited alot of great wineries and I came home with several bottles to enjoy during the holidays.
One of the places I really like to make sure I stop into is the Wildseed Farm. Fields of cosmos and sunflowers greeted us as we pulled in. In addition to an extensive nursery of fall flowers and a gift shop, they had a wide selection of pumpkins to choose from. I wanted to share some snaps of the newest varieties of pumpkins out there. I love seeing a twist on the traditional pumpkin.
Millionaire
Red Warty Hubbard
I forgot to snap what variety this was. I love the shape and colors!
Porcelain Doll Rascal
Knuckle Head
Cheddar Variety. Reminded me of a box of cheese nips.
I picked these up at Sprouts. I love the stripes on on the smaller one.
I am really into grey and white pumpkins this year. Don’t you know there is a farmer out there scratching his head and telling his wife…”you know that mistake crop of white pumpkins…well I’ll be darned if they aren’t our best sellers now.”
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
