This last Halloween, I harvested some pumpkins
Today, I harvested the final three of our five backyard pumpkins. Four are at the house and one is at Fort Faulsey. The vine itself is starting to give up the ghost. Hopefully it will return next year. Did you catch the joke – ghost/pumpkin? All five are robust and sturdy. I see meaning there, […]
