I grew pumpkins and cukes this year and got 0 pumpkins and 1
cuke and nothing to maturity.


Boo has a pumpkin vine that has just started flowering. it's
possible, but unlikely, he'll get a pumpkin for halloween if a female
flower shows up in the next week.
my bushel gourds didn't even come up until 3 weeks ago, even though
i planted them in June. i was surprised to see them, actually. i
figured the seeds just rotted with the rain & cold.

It's been a funky year here. Even my favorite farm stand seems "bare"
compared to other years.
