Boring Tuesday farm report is long overdue, isn't it?

There are 2 kinds of blossoms on pumpkin plants and each only lasts for one day.
 Most days I'm out there counting.
 And hoping we get a few of the beautiful flattish ones.
 The surprise this year was a couple small pie pumpkins,
 and a few that start out somewhat globular,
 but slowly end up rounded.
This vine wanted a better view and decided to climb up the bunny hutch.

We're up to 10 pumpkins, 3 varieties so far.  Dear friends wait expectantly for fresh table displays, roasted seeds, and scrumptious soup.  I don't eat it, but they do.  I simply enjoy watching them grow.  Thank goodness a volunteer crop showed up this year.  I'd hate to disappoint my friends.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
