We pick the pumpkins and place them in a pile so that we can load them into a truck and take them to the Lincoln Gardens yard
Lincoln Gardens Pumpkin Patch
Did you know that our Pumpkin Patch is the largest in Saskatchewan? Lincoln Gardens has been providing a fun family halloween destination for well over 20 years!
We grow so many varieties of pumpkins from wee little ornamental ones to huge 100lb beauties. We also grow blue, white, tan, warty, and other interesting types that will make your family fall display extra fun.
In Saskatchewan it is impossible to offer a ‘u-pick’ pumpkin patch due to our weather conditions. Pumpkins can not handle any frost, so once the temperature dips in October pumpkins must be kept in a heated environment and not left out in the field. Each year the Lincoln Gardens yard and store are filled with pumpkins so that families can easily choose the one they want and take some great photos while they are here.
And if pumpkins are not enough fun for you we also have a haunted house, straw bale maze and children’s ‘not so haunted forest’. The pumpkin forest is suitable for the little ones, while the haunted house is more for kids over 8 years. Unlike some pumpkin patches, we don’t charge an entrance fee or admission to any of the pumpkin patch attractions.
So start planning your family visit to Lincoln’s Pumpkin Patch, if you have not been here before, we are certain that you will be surprised by the number of pumpkins we offer!
Pumpkin Patch is open daily from Mid-late September to October 31st.
Orange Cauliflower??
“Cheddar” Cauliflower is a variety that we have grown for the first time this year. The cauliflower is a deep yellow/orange colour and is packed with beta-carotene. This is what Territorial Seed Company has to say about it:
“An orange cauliflower! First discovered in the Bradford Marsh in Canada in 1970, Cheddar was smaller and less tasty than white cauliflower, but the color was alluring. Over the years, using conventional breeding techniques, it was crossed with a white variety to create a delicious, high vitamin content cauliflower. The curds contain approximately 25 times more beta carotene than white cauliflower. Excellent flavor and color whether eaten raw or cooked. The orange color will brighten any relish tray for sure.”
It sells faster than we can pick it!
