We reserve one end of our plowed field for the vegetable garden, and the rest is all planted in pumpkins. Next year we may need a different strategy as the pumpkins are swallowing the tomatoes plants and vining up the corn stalks. It is amazing how far they will vine if we don't keep them under control! It's no wonder our tomatoes won't ripen when they never get a glimpse of the sun.
One pumpkin vine even decided to climb up a cage that we had around a tomato plant. (Maybe this is "the little pumpkin who could.")
But I'm not going to complain, because we have PUMPKINS too!! And I love pumpkins. I think they are beautiful.
And we also came home to the corn wearing their head-dresses...
And bearing gifts wrapped in silk packages...
The green beans were ready for picking...
As were the squash and cucumbers...
Colorado was gorgeous, relaxing, and basically perfect....
But we did miss our garden.... REALLY!
I know the feeling...there's just no place like home, garden, and little farm ~ right?!
