My first pumpkin stand... any tips for next year?

@Soren
Not yet, but I’m thinking of starting with berry bushes. Wildberries do great here.

Oh, that’s awesome! Look up your planting zone and go from there. I’m in zone 10, so I started late this year but still got a good harvest.

@Soren
I’m in zone 6a, so I guess I should start in June!

That guy in the last picture is seriously ripped!

I always say ‘Christ on ice’ for situations like this. Don’t know where it came from but it stuck.

I got ‘Christ on a cracker’ from the movie Wanted and it just stuck with me :joy:

73? You’ve gotta be kidding.

@Cai
Nope, your comments are making his day! Thanks!

“Get your pumpkins! Fresh pumpkins of all shapes and sizes!” How many did you end up selling? Did you go to a farmers market or just set up somewhere?

Haha, we played music from The Beverly Hillbillies as we pulled out with the trailer, so you’re spot on. I sold maybe 40 pumpkins to about 12 customers, and I was only out there for 4 hours. I’m planning to do it every Sunday in November.

@Soren
What’s up with that big pumpkin you’re sitting next to?

I thought you mentioned a sign. Something wrong with the big one?

@Blaine
Oh, that! My stepdad accidentally misspelled ‘pumpkins’ as ‘PUNKINS’ on the sign I’m holding.

Haha, I didn’t even notice. I was just asking about the pumpkin!

Oh, gotcha! :joy:

Looks great! A couple of suggestions to maybe sell even more: The white text on your sign is hard to read against the yellow, and maybe adding prices would help!
