to everything there is a season

and a time to every purpose under heaven:

a time to be born,

a time to die;

a time to plant,

and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

happy september.

my own lil' pumpkin patch

i was finally able to get some pumpkin seeds in the ground.

i have always wanted a pumpkin patch for the kids and i

to pick our own pumpkins for decorating and baking.

i planted cucurbita maxima otherwise known as big max.

the package says...grow the biggest jack~o~lantern in your

neighbourhood! may reach 100 lbs. also good for pies and

canning. there were 11 seeds...so potentially 1,100 lbs worth of

pumpkin flesh. how exciting.

i got a really late start on this but thanks to my son, david

and daddio...who tilled this ground about 4 times, i now have

at least the start of a pumpkin patch.

hopefully we will have a late frost and i can have some

of my own pumpkins from the garden.

i will keep you posted.
