Yes, our little preschool/homeschool had a good old fashioned joint pumpkin patch and apple orchard field trip a couple weeks ago. It was a fabulous day to be outside. The sun was out and shining so much. I look back on this day fondly, since now our days are brisker and cloudier. The winter is coming. I can feel it! Anyway, here are some of the delightful things that a Chinese indoor pumpkin "patch", actually a greenhouse, offers...
Oh, did I forget to say this was an Entertainment Farm!
Don't stop looking now. More good stuff is coming up.
The red lanterns scream China.

You just can't have a pumpkin greenhouse without one of these...
Take a close look.
...and an even closer look. A naked Chinese tot's butt on a giant pumpkin would not be my first choice, but to each his own I guess.
Banana trees were even in the greenhouse.

The only part we got to do outside was the picking of enormous radishes/turnips. I'm still not exactly sure which they were. I've gotten different names from different people. Help! Which is is? Either way, they were a delicious addition to my cooking ventures.
