[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 615700, member: 12952"] [B]Pumpkin shortage threatens Halloween fun[/B] [B]Farmers patching up pickings[/B] By Karen Goldberg Goff CENTREVILLE, Va. | When children leave Cox Farms and other pumpkin patches across the nation this fall, they may go home with a gourd instead of the traditional orange pumpkin. That's because Cox Farms, which hosts one of the Washington area's largest fall festivals this month, is looking at a pumpkin shortage. Cox Farms marketing manager Bob Richard said a rainy spring in some parts of the country has led to a dearth of the little pumpkins that children carry home from the patch. Those pumpkins are free with the $15 admission price. Cox Farms grows some of its own pumpkins, then orders the rest from local brokers to round out the supply. [/QUOTE]
