Last spring I decided to grow some vegetables. It was more of an experiment and I didn't expect much. The cauliflower failed and something ate the cucumber plant. I did get a few strawberries and bell peppers. But the peppers were green when the tags on the plants said red.

My two cocktail tomato plants have produced the most fruit . Both plants are huge and completely out of control. I harvested fruit daily through most of July and then nothing. But now there are hundreds of new blossoms, so it looks like I'll have a late summer crop also.

Of all the planting I did, however, the only thing I really wanted to succeed were my pumpkin seeds. So I'm happy to report that I now have a small pumpkin patch in my backyard!
Currently I have three nearly full-grown pumpkins and the start of several more. So there will be plenty of fruit for Elliott and Jonah to pick. But, best of all, pumpkins are a sure sign that fall is on the way.
