Yes...those are PUMPKINS ripe in the garden! We had some gourds, pumpkins, melons and spaghetti squash sprout from the compost pile...and these two beauties were ready to pick now...in JULY! Thankfully, fall isn't here quite yet - as is evidenced by the amazing blackberries we have been picking for a month, and are STILL ripening on the canes. Figs are getting plump, basil is DELICIOUS, and dahlias and zinnias are blooming. Summer is in full force...maybe the pumpkins are just trying to reflect the beautiful sunshine we have had all month.
Coming along also is our "Flower Bed"...it's one of those things that will either be really cool, or really NOT. Preparing with plantings to match a wedding in October...before and after pics to come. Any guesses which bed we used? You'll soon see! (Hint: It was beautiful, but a bit too small by todays standards, and would have needed a custom mattress to fit around the posts) Stay tuned - so far, I am liking it a lot. We'll be taking votes though...sometimes my artistic sense is questionable...
