That being said, everyone gets a fuzzy feeling about the first crisp day of fall—especially here in Texas. The sight of pumpkins popping up in stores is a big part of that. H-E-B has a vast array of Texas Roots pumpkins, grown right here in Texas, to choose from. Whether you need a pie pumpkin, a future jack-o-lantern, or decorative gourds, H-E-B has you covered. H-E-B stocks beautiful varieties like the Snowball Pumpkin—smooth, round, and white, this pumpkin is perfect for a decorative fall display. Or round out your decorations with the Orange Sparkler, a mini ornamental pumpkin that’s the traditional orange with golden-colored flecks.
