They catch your attention and are part of the fun during fall…I am talking about pumpkins. So many varieties this year. Most pumpkins are orange because of the high content of lutein, and alpha-beta-carotene. I love seeing them along with the gorgeous mums, cabbages and everything Fall and Witchy!!
If you have been coming to the beach on our Second Season, I am sure you have driven by Tomato Sunshine. You cannot miss it. It is a giant pumpkin patch at this time of the year. Believe me, I know. I stop several times a week. Tomato Sunshine is so full of color, you cannot help but feel good. It is located at 19791 Coastal Highway, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. 19971. Tel. 302-226-9533.

So when I stopped today I noticed that the cabbages are getting that deeper color. It was a bit chilly today and just perfect to walk around the market.
By the way, the Farm Market within Tomato Sunshine will be open through October 31st. Tomato Sunshine opens Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Sunday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The tomatoes still looked beautiful.
Plenty of Concord Grapes
Plenty of other root veggies, onions, squashes.
Tomato Sunshine will be fundraising for the Rehoboth Beach Fire Department on the week-end of October 26 – 28th which is the Sea Witch Festival. A scaffolding has been donated by Gran Rental Station to build the pumpkin tower that will light the night skyline on Rt. 1 (Coastal Highway). Pumpkin donation is $10 per pumpkin. To reserve your pumpkin, please e-mail your info. to info@tomatosunshine.com. You can also e-mail ernie@tomatosunshine.com. Or, call 302-226-9533 for more details. You can check Tomato Sunshine’s Facebook page, as well. And, feel free to also visit their website above mentioned. More info. will be on those sites this week.
Ernie told me that there is a very good pumpkin this year at Tomato Sunshine. It is called the Buttercup. It is a winter squash with a sweet and nutty flesh. Easy to cook too.
It seems that Tomato Sunshine has a slightly different look every day. You can always find something new. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. They are very helpful. If you need fire wood, check the website.
The following pumpkins are called Blue Hubbards. People love them. They are perfect for pies.
Don’t forget the winter pansies!!
Have a great day!! Talk to you later…
