Comparing Apples and Pumpkins

Comparing apples and oranges isn't apt, but comparing apples and pumpkins is fair game this time of year. Rosy-cheeked searchers have sought out orchards (+86%) and farms (+725%) for their "apple picking" pleasures (+102%). People are also scouting out the most sincere pumpkin patch (+64%) to pick halloween pumpkins (+151%) for a little carving (+115%) and gouging.

Not that you have to pick and choose (especially with some apple farms hosting pumpkin patches), but we couldn't resist a Buzz fruit-off.

  • Pumpkins or apples? The squat squash proves more tempting in Search.
  • Apple pie or pumpkin pie? Here, folks prefer apple by a whopping 16-fold margin—and that's not including cravings for "apple crisp."
  • Better hang-out? People like heading to farms to be among the granny smiths.
  • Recipe searches (besides pie): Buzzing are apple cider, apple butter, pumpkin bread.
  • Art inspiration?: Pumpkins, judging by queries for carving patterns, clipart, faces.

    With apple farms the cool-weather place to go, consider these top 10 pomaceous-picking places this week.
