点评:First of all, I will start by saying that we have taking our kids to AppleWorks for years to get pumpkins for carving. They are now teenagers and don’t necessarily want to do any of the kid activities so today we decided we would go to the pumpkin patch just to get pumpkins. We did drive 53 minutes, which was OK considering that we’ve always had a good experience at AppleWorks but today that all changed.
We arrived at opening time and drove straight back to the pumpkin patch. We got parked and walked into a little bit of a different set up than we’ve seen in the past. I wasn’t that shocked until we started walking into the fields and realized that there were absolutely no pumpkins. No decent pumpkins that are even anything that’s close to carving worthy. In the past, we have always walked to the back of the fields, especially if we are later in the month of October but this year all we found were weeds. There was a sign that said “due to the arrogance of others” that we would need to go to the east and south east fields so we headed over that direction.
There were still not very many pumpkin options. Now mind you, I know that we are more than halfway through the month of October, but typically there’s been a little more option. There were pumpkins at the front lot available for purchase, but they definitely look like they came from a different field and possibly a different company. The fields were SO overgrown with weeds and some did not even look like they were planted this year.
What was left of the pumpkins in the field were all flat on one side and either rotten or half eaten.
If you anticipate going to Apple Works this year to get pumpkins, I would highly recommend that you rethink. We were so disappointed in our experience today, and I don’t think that we will ever go back.
翻译:首先,我要说的是,多年来我们一直带着孩子们去 AppleWorks 摘南瓜来雕刻。他们现在已经十几岁了,不一定愿意参加任何儿童活动,所以今天我们决定去南瓜地摘南瓜。我们确实开了 53 分钟的车,考虑到我们在 AppleWorks 的体验一直都很好,这还算可以接受,但今天一切都变了。
我们在开门时间到达,然后直接开车回到南瓜地。我们停好车,走进一个与我们过去见过的略有不同的场景。我并不感到震惊,直到我们开始走进田野,才意识到那里根本没有南瓜。没有任何像样的南瓜,甚至任何接近值得雕刻的东西。过去,我们总是走到田野后面,尤其是如果我们在十月晚些时候,但今年我们发现的只有杂草。有一个标志说“由于其他人的傲慢”,我们需要去东边和东南边的田地,所以我们朝那个方向走去。
仍然没有太多的南瓜选择。现在请注意,我知道我们已经过了 10 月份的一半以上,但通常选择会多一点。前面的地段有南瓜可供购买,但它们看起来肯定是来自不同的田地,也可能是不同的公司。田地里杂草丛生,有些甚至看起来不像是今年种的。
田地里剩下的南瓜都是平的,要么腐烂了,要么被吃了一半。
如果你打算今年去 Apple Works 买南瓜,我强烈建议你重新考虑。我们对今天的经历非常失望,我想我们永远不会再去了。
