Today we visited Kennedy’s Pumpkin Patch in Julianstown, Meath to pick some pumpkins and tomorrow we’ll cut them up. What they did was they harvested loads of pumpkins and put them all in one area and that is where you’ll select your pumpkin. We arrived at 11:20 am to line of cars so it’s very popular.
