Our two varieties of blue pumpkins both ripened this past week. The big, lumpy ones in back are Blue Hubbard squash and the more pumpkin-shaped ones in front are Queensland Blue. They weigh about 11 pounds and 9 pounds, respectively.

About half of the patch is picked but a few varieties are still growing..

i usually pick everything later rather than sooner.
we have sunny and warm weather the rest of the week
at least that is what the forecast is saying. squash
can wait while we get the tomatoes and peppers done
and i get caught up on a project while the sun is
shining.

but the past few evenings we've had temps down into
the 30s now so things are getting the message to finish
up soon.

some beans are still green/growing/flowering and i'm
surprised the pepper plants are not pouting about the
cold and seem to be doing ok today.

The pumpkin vines died back in the back half of the patch and the vines detached from the fruit easily, so I gathered them up. We still have a dozen or so neck pumpkins out in the field; their vines and leaves are still going strong, so I'll leave them until they wilt.
