The Great Pumpkins
When I was at my mom’s on Tuesday we harvest the two pumpkins that were on the Cinderella vine. There were two pumpkins growing right next to each other on the vine, and I think these are the only two that set.
One weighed 23 pounds and the other 16, now those are some numbers that will help bump up my harvest total! These pumpkins are going to grace my mom’s porch on Halloween for decoration and then they’ll be made into pumpkin pies, which is of course my favorite way to eat pumpkin!
What’s your favorite way to enjoy pumpkin?

Harvesting Fall Beans
I’m starting to harvest those beans that I started back in August.
It seems that I’ve protected them well enough from the groundhogs & deer (knock on wood of course, my luck I’ll go out later today and they’ll all be gone). I’m hoping with some protection from the cold and perhaps some cooperation from mother nature I’ll be eating fresh green beans for a month or so. Although since we had our first frost advisory last night, which is 2 weeks earlier than usual, I may not be eating fresh beans all that long.
Last year I didn’t have many veggies besides lettuce at this time. This year I didn’t get my lettuce started until last week, so I’m really happy to have these beans!
What fresh veggies are you enjoying from your garden right now?
