Whose Going to Tell Them It's November?

We get a lot of cross pollination in our backyard and then the seeds survive the compost pile and surprise us.

This year, we got something that appears to be a cross between a pumpkin and a zucchini.

Last year, we got something that seemed to be a cross between a pumpkin and a butternut squash. I used for all the applications I would normally use a butternut squash for and it worked quite well.

Not sure how the pumpchini will cook up, but we shall see!

The first summer squash are coming in.  Can't wait for the zucchini.  Yum!

Snail's Pace

We've got a snail living in our dwarf lime tree.

He's not eating any of the leaves, just hanging out.  Every day I find him in some new section.  He's about the size of a small lime, so sometimes I think we have fruit ready to be picked and them I'm slightly disappointed. 

Labels

Rob bought brass labels for our plants.  You use a ballpoint pen to "engrave" the name of the plant onto the plate and then stick it into the ground.

Rob won't let me write on them because my writing is so bad no one could read them.  I maintain that the quality of the engraving is so bad, my handwriting really couldn't make things much worse.

That says "margarita bop" by the way.
