The pumpkin looks pretty normal, right?
I have this thing about putting a pumpkin on the porch every Halloween,
then leaving it there to see how long it lasts. It is a conversation piece at
Christmas, Valentine, and sometimes Easter before it collapses. This year it made
it past 4th of July-------my all time record! Someone must be
growing super pumpkins!
The bean is an Asian variety--------36 inches long.
One is enough for stir fry for two--------and mighty tasty.
Don's cousin grew the carrot! We don't even like to talk about it.
Who knew a carrot could be nasty?
Several years ago we grew broccoli in our garden. Much to our surprise we found this all ready to harvest one day. He was just too cute to cook, so like Clara's pumpkin we still have him setting out as a conversation piece.
The same year, this potato was harvested out of the same garden, and he too is still part of our family. It is amazing how attached we can become to our veggies and they make great "veggie tales" (or meals) to share with our family and friends! However, a baked potato or French fries would be awfully good. I just don't think that I would enjoy seeing his eyes on the plate.
