With the day-time temperatures slowly but gradually dropping and the evenings growing cooler, it means it's that time again to start picking some pumpkins! While you can easily find a stock of pumpkins at several grocery stores in the area, many families choose a trip to the local pumpkin patch. The Greater Wilmington area has a variety of locations where families can go and choose just the right pumpkin for carving, decorating, and cooking this season. Here are several local patches las well as a few within a short drive out to the country.
