IT’S PUMPKIN SEASON

And they are EVERYWHERE! Every store I went into this week had some form of fall pumpkins near the door tempting shoppers to welcome the cooler temps into their surroundings. I must admit to giving in to the temptation. If you’re fighting it too, Dothan Nurseries has a fabulous selection in the pavilion on the north side of the property with all sizes shapes and colors.

While I love a real pumpkin, unless you cook and can them (as some of us market folk have been known to do) they don’t last. Many people opt for pumpkins that can be used year after year. My daughter in law is one such person:

Lastly, MY PUMPKINS: They fade in the sun if you use them outdoors but they are super fun to make from recycled materials and once you know how, you can make a bunch in a short time. That being said – if you have an unused something you’d enjoy turning into a pumpkin, let’s do it! Send us an email at marketatdothan@gmail.com with a photo of your item and we’ll tell you how much stuffing to bring and will have the remaining supplies at the Market Shed next Friday. It’s a quick and fun project.
