Where can I get hold of 20 pumpkins?

Question

I need to find 20ish medium sized pumpkins, and I am going to need them in the first week of September, preferably available in South Wales or the South West, could be a problem as they might not be in season yet. They are for decorative purposes and should be orange. Anyone have any idea where I can get them from that early in the year?

Answer 1

im not sure that will be possible

pumkins ripen October 3rd mostly

Answer 2

Farmers market

Answer 3

It could be tricky. The main crop - obviously aimed for Haloween - will only just have been sown. Butternut squash is the usual culinary alternative, but that won't be much good for you!  

Answer 4

go to your local groceries they usually have loads :)

Answer 5

Since they are for decorative purposes, crafting stores sell very realistic looking ones that will not rot and can be used again.

Answer 6

hmm this time of year will be tough but I suppose you can find them at a Farmer's Market or WholeFoods store.

If you can wait a little until like mid-September you can go to a pumpkin patch where they actually grow and there will be millions.

Answer 7

my local tesco extra sells a smallish pumpkin type thing. they class it as a squash, but it looks identical to a pumpkin. its the size of  a small football.

Answer 8

Farmer's Market might be your best bet, you might luck out and find someone who planted early.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Farmers markets in a larger town or city should source stuff from everywhere.
