Halloween is just days away and by now the patches have been visited, the perfect pumpkin has been chosen, and those orange gourds have been carved. For many the sight of those pumpkin patches popping up in local parking lots create a festive excitement for what’s to come on the 31^st of October. For others, they create nostalgia, as we are taken back to the childhood routine of visiting a real pumpkin patch and picking out the perfect pumpkin. But, either way, the pumpkin patch has always been a cornerstone of the American Halloween.

What many don’t know is that the traditional pumpkin patch is now accompanied by a modern and environmentally friendly counterpart: “The Hydroponics Pumpkin Patch”. Across the country hydroponic growers have transformed the way we pick out pumpkins and have begun to grow pumpkins in their very own indoor gardens. Using the basics of any standard hydroponics system, pumpkins are on the long list of vegetables that have been hydroponically grown. It may be too late for this year, but it’s never to late to start the garden plans for Halloween 2012.
