Tips for Visiting Pumpkin Patches in Greenville & Spartanburg
- Bring Bug Spray:
We all love fall, but the bugs don’t take a break just because the weather’s cooler! Be sure to pack some bug spray, especially if you’re planning to hang out in the corn maze or have a picnic. - Stay Hydrated:
Even though it’s not blazing hot, you’ll still be walking around a lot. We always bring water to stay hydrated while enjoying the pumpkin patch fun. - Wear Comfy Shoes:
Pumpkin patches mean dirt, grass, and maybe some gravel. We’ve learned the hard way—flip-flops are a no-go. Stick with comfy, closed-toe shoes to keep your feet happy. - Pack a Picnic:
If you’re making a full day of it, why not pack a picnic? Most pumpkin patches have picnic areas, and it’s the perfect way to take a break and enjoy the fall atmosphere. - Check the Event Schedule:
Many patches host more than just pumpkin picking—think hayrides, fall festivals, and even corn mazes. We always check their websites or social media before heading out so we don’t miss out on any extra fun. - Watch Out for Bugs on Pumpkins:
Before you bring that perfect pumpkin home, give it a quick check for bugs, especially under the stem. A little look now can save you a surprise later! - Bring Cash:
Not all pumpkin patches accept cards, so we always carry a bit of cash—just in case we want an extra pumpkin or snack.
Pumpkin Picking & Carving Tips
- Pick the Right Pumpkin:
We like to go for pumpkins with sturdy stems and no soft spots. A flat bottom is great too, since it helps your pumpkin stay upright when you carve it! - Hold Off on Carving:
We’ve all been there—carving too early and watching our masterpiece rot before Halloween. Wait until closer to the big day, and if you want it to last longer, rub petroleum jelly on the cut edges. - Use the Right Tools:
Using a proper pumpkin carving kit makes life so much easier (and safer). We recommend grabbing some small, serrated tools if you’re planning to go for a detailed design. - Decorate Without Carving:
Not up for carving? No worries! You can paint or decorate your pumpkin instead. It’s fun, creative, and keeps your pumpkin looking great for longer. - Roast Those Seeds:
Don’t throw away the seeds! We love roasting them for a healthy and delicious snack. Just toss them with some olive oil and your favorite seasoning, then bake at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes.
