Eek! It's already October and not a single fruit on my pumpkin vine. We might have to resort to carving watermelon instead -- those we have in abundance! How many can you spot in this picture? (Yes, this is like those kooky puzzles you did in Highlights magazine when you were a kid!)
Our corn didn't get very high -- our soil is clay and totally sucks. One of the plants is starting to die already -- it'll make a great decoration at Halloween.I've pulled some ears already and, while the husks were a normal size, the ears were miniature. The kernels were full size, though, and they tasted good.
When Rob and I met 10 years ago, I was trying to grow my own pumpkin. I failed. And I failed at our old apartment.But now, we have at least one pumpkin that has grown to carving size. If I can just keep it going until Halloween...
...we thought we'd put up some black lights and turn it into a real Halloween horror.
Didn't really take much.
