First Pumpkin!

Finally made it back over to the farm yesterday evening in between rain storms to pick in the garden... So much okra! It's worth the effort to clip it even though it's super itchy and sticky... We are going to fry us up some with green tomato chunks this weekend!! But, in other news...

The good side of the pumpkin patch is still thriving and all those little bitty pumpkins are now 2-3 inch diameter and check out our first go-getter of the patch!!!


So darn exciting! I would say 8 inch diameter and probably weighing 8-10 pounds so far... so praying the bugs and fungus stay away!


And the corn is now showing silk after tasseling earlier in the week...


We are still analyzing the other half of the pumpkin patch to see if the few vines we left behind will show evidence of growth... so far not so good. Hmmmm we shall see!
