we had a nasty frost last night so i had to clean up the garden.
white pumpkins, purple skinned potatoes (although they just look normal here )
my yellow fleshed watermelons did not turn out but here's the
last of my cucumbers and the carrots turned out well. i forgot to include the last of the spinach.

the frost wrecked havoc with the sunflowers as well so i salvaged what i could.
and of course these are my ghost pumpkins there were a couple
others but they were touched by the frost. they are small but happy with how they turned out.

would love to see the stuff you grew too. anything

Those ghost pumpkins are awesome they are running around 15 - 20$ each here

you are totally getting seed next year
i just goofed that i didn't send any this spring.

i'm anxious to see what they've done at the farm. i bet they are twice as big.
and my watermelons actually grew there.

Good work - everything looks great! Lovely pictures, too.

So, what time is the delicious feast being served, emm?

ughhhhh... feast?
that sounds like cooking.
you know i don't cook, right?


thanks everyone. i want to see your pictures too.

Awesome work Emm!!!

wow really nice

Ooooo Awwwww... beautiful... and beautifully arranged. Cooking anything special? Potatoe carrot soup? I have never seen white pumpkin before... are you going to carve one for Halloween, or two? May I have a cucumber sliced, with salt please. You are too kind miss greenthumbemm, too kind.

~Hugs. How do you prepare the ground for or before gardening? What are your growing months? I am full of questions.

I now wanna go to the village show with you.

Here is Emm with her pumpkin! Too bad she got only second prize, as Mr Wilkinson again won, like previous twenty years.

Really beautiful, Emm. Still waiting for our first frost,it's been unnaturally warm here. I want Autumn.

A nice Fall pic

i'm not a green thumb. i just put seeds in the ground. i can't keep a houseplant alive to save my soul. come on! you guys must have something around that is growing that you can show me?

thank you though... it would be fun to have you all over for a party under my garden canopy thing before i take it down. i have a red star lantern lighting it up at night and no one to sit out there with

pictures!! please?

I've got basil, that's all cos I used the last of my thyme a couple days ago, need to sow more of that.

My houseplants grow like hell though, they're really.....branching out :lameassjoke:

Gorgeous!!!

Really beautiuful, emm.

I put about $40 worth of bulbs in and NOTHING. Not a sprout came up. Between our dry summer and the squirrels I was doomed.

I don't have anything to show... you know... my yard or small area out back... is an arid looking mess. Anything put outside... will wilt in this heat, well, not everything... but you know what I mean.

Soon... Next week should be some cooler weather, for a a day or two at least.

Maybe I should go to the garden section at Home Depot or Walmart... Their misting set-up is really nice.

i love your pumpkins

wheres the other weeds?

Wow, very nice, emm! I looooove those white pumpkins, they're so pretty.

i just munched on carrots and ate sliced cucumbers in vinegar/sugar water... mmmmm! it is a tradition at home that you make potato pancakes for supper the night you dig potatoes as that is what my grandmother always did but i failed to do that lol. i was so looking forward to showing you my purple potatoes and they don't look any different in the picture lol

the pumpkins will all be carved for halloween. i gave the two that were touched by frost to neighbors that might actually cook them up and will give one each to my friend's kids. will take pictures of the ones at the farm if they didn't all freeze.

last year i rented and rototilled the patch myself and said never again. this year a guy with a tractor came in the spring. i want him to do it in the fall this year as i still want to try fall seeded peas for an extra early crop. the white pumpkin i started indoors late march and set it out late may. it would have dried up without my old neighborlady surreptitiously sneaking in here to water it all the time i was away at the farm.

I'm jealous! I'd love to have a garden.

For some reason I find it very attractive and sexy when women are good at gardening.

Wow, great !!!

I'm sorry about the frost but your pictures still are gorgeous.

NICE!!!

I had a bad season...just a few toms..2 cukes, the zuccinis were big...grn peppers never did take...i think i planted too close together. I will know better next yr. ive never seen white kins...(sis calls them kins).....lol

I forgot to say that it's really gorgeous, I want a garden too. But I did get inspired and put some parsley, thyme and chives seeds down in pots in my kitchen window after reading this thread.

yummie

Still lovin those white pumpkins. I've never seen them before.
