determination

The grand-kids got to pick out pumpkins from the garden when they were here last weekend.  This one was bound and determined to carry a pumpkin to the trailer all by herself.  Her big brother came to help but soon gave up as it was too heavy.

Finally her dad came and helped to put the pumpkin in the wagon with all the other pumpkins they were taking back home with them.  The grand-kids helped us pick all the pumpkins, as I wanted to put some out by our sign and up by the house.

Even with the drought this summer we got 25 pumpkins to grow.  This is our Three Sisters project that worked out great.

You can't really see them, but the bean plants are there and they did great growing up the corn stalks.  Look how big and yummy these beans look, can't wait to have them in soups this winter.

I love the pumpkins out by the sign.  Our hostas don't look that great, the drought really did a number on them this year.

Hope you all are doing great.

Beautiful, really. Look at all those pumpkins! I've never grown much of a garden, let alone many pumpkins! So fun with grand kids too.

Wow what great pumpkins... I can't seem to grow bit pumpkins in Alberta... and those beans!! I don't know what I thought...but I never thought of the dry beans coming off bean plants...I know where would they come from...I hate to ask this question...but do you dry them??

Hi Bev, you can dry them or leave them in the pods until they are dried. We plan to leave them in the pods.

Wow Judy -- that's a great pumpkin haul! I've tried growing them before but never had any luck. They look great by your sign!

I love the shots of your grandchildren with the pumpkins. Great harvest to share with them. I also love the last shot of the pumpkins by the sign.
