An impending hurricane upon us and we were playing games. Did you know that Southern Delaware is referred to as “slower lower”? We take our time when doing things. We will get to them; not in a rush, though.
With that thought in mind, I think the Weather Channel was so surprised we were not moving faster. Well, we had things to attend; Sea Witch and a fundraising event for the Rehoboth Beach Fire Department were on the top of the list. And, even though Sunday is not going to be a good day for Sea Witch, they at least got 2 days of it.
I had to stop to see what they were doing at Tomato Sunshine. Remember them? I have been putting tons of pumpkin and mum pictures. Tomato Sunshine is located at 19791 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1) in Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-226-9533. Website? http://www.tomatosunshine.com.
Once again, they brought a smile to my face.
Carve a pumpkin for $10. Proceeds going to the Rehoboth Beach Fire Department.
Then, they were getting them up on the tower for a lighting in the evening.
It was family time and the guys were loving the bowling with pumpkins. Two bowling lanes.
The little ones were having fun too.
And these two? They were so funny and silly!!
Enjoying one beautiful day in Rehoboth Beach, regardless of what is waiting for us in the next few days. Talk to you later.

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. Website? http://www.tomatosunshine.com.
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…
