It's so perfect and glossy, eye popping yellow, it resembles a plastic flower. procon Sep 2018 #4

Everything is done in my garden except the banana peppers and a patch of Italian parsley.

Squashes have such beautiful flowers, don't they?

The Sweet Dumpling squash is done. I planted pumpkins, but got nothing but spectacular blossoms. I might try again, next year.

What variety of squash is it? I love squash and I'm on a cooking binge with my latest find, yummy Delicata squash. I'm going to roast them with chopped pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon for dessert.

Blossoms are the only thing I got from the pumpkin vines!

Don't think they're going to last to the end of October.

i have watermelons rotting in the field, and it breaks my heart. Bumper crop, 3 different kinds and they're all huge.

Still have tomatoes, green beans, and black-eyed peas, a few squash. And my god---the GOURDS! They are like the gourds that ate NY. Should have enough for projects for next 5 years.
