Early this summer I admired the seed package that boasted a photo of an amazing green pumpkin. Seeing that it required a longer growing season than we have here I knew it wasn’t likely we’d get any. But, hopefully, I planted it any way. Today I brought these beauties in! We got the ghostly white ones too. And the little one with the big schnauze was a seed from Bridget a few years ago. They were in a brown sack on which I had written “Bridget’s Cute Lil’ Punkins.” There are a whole bunch out there to harvest! The reddish one deserves its own post too. It is called “Cinderella” and comes from Big Kyles’ dad’s patch down in Monticello. (he gave me one when we were down visiting last time) Glory be. I’m in punkin heaven.
Even the purslane looked pretty today against its backdrop of ethereal Dusty Miller.
I’m collecting seeds from flowers that were particularly glorious – like this red zinnia. It was the first to bloom and it went Boom! all summer.
All these below are from one seedling. I think I’ll name it myself and call it ‘Scarlet Abundance’.
The pumpkins are honored guests for the season and make great bookends.
Heads Up! The Wolf Den is back in full swing.
