This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.
peas planted!

Dad's pumpkin
My parents have a beautiful pumpkin ripening in their garden. A real nice one! The vine is crawling out across the lawn and my dad carefully mows around it. It looks like they will be able to make a nice jack-o-lantern for Halloween. Or a pumpkin pie.
I have bad news about my pumpkin flower - it did not set. Oh well. :(
(My little Olympus Stylus 720SW camera has a lot of trouble with the combination of orange and green - pumpkin and grass. It does great with the blues of water scenery. I've tried hard to adjust the colors to look natural. Here's the original. Aaargg.)
Pumpkin -- Cucurbitaceae spp.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI use Flickr to upload my photos. It allows higher resolution than many upload services. Most of my photos are shown at 500x300px.
I enjoyed visiting you site and have linked to it so I can follow your garden. Thanks for leaving a comment!
