Home Grown Pumpkins!

The fruits of our labors! This year we planted corn and pumpkins. We got quite a good harvest of corn despite the rocky soil and not fertilizing like we should. We are now using the corn stalks for fall decorations around our front entryway.

The pumpkins didn’t fare quite as well as the corn. We started in containers and transplanted a little too late. Dad worked hard hand watering the pumpkins all summer because the sprinkler didn’t quite make it to that corner of the garden.

But there is something quite spectacular about growing things from seed. So even though our pumpkins are small and perhaps not the prettiest around, we are very proud of them!
