Pumpkins

When I arrived to the farm, I found two pumpkins. One was growing in the brush pile and another in a flower bed. This began several years ago when I threw a pumpkin in the brush pile which is also a compost heap. When my parents were alive, that area was were they had their vegetable garden. Maybe someday, someone will have a garden there again. If I can develop my plan to use the farm for farm vacations, I will hire someone to plant an organic garden there. I understand a vegetable garden is an attraction to farm vacationers. Anyway, the fall after I threw the pumpkin in the brush pile, I found four big pumpkins growing there. I suppose some critter moved around the seeds. It's nice having my own pumpkin patch. Among all the things that need repair or replacement, is the stove. The burners work but not the oven. Replacing the stove is not near the top of my list. I wish, however, that it worked so I could bake the pumpkins. Then I would can it for pies, soup, etc. when I visit my farm friends I like to have something home grown to give then. They give me fresh vegetables, flowers, cookies - whatever is available. Well, someday.
