Carl had the opportunity to visit a local farm that is growing pumpkins and winter squash. He took a number of pictures at the field while helping with picking and gathering a few for our own use!
 |
| The whole pumpkin turns orange as it matures (it does not need to be exposed to sun directly). |
 |
| There are still blooms on the vines -- they are just continuing to produce! But... the plan is to plow the field under this weekend, so this is the end of the harvest. |
 |
| some decorative gourds... |
 |
| ... and pumpkins... |
 |
| ... and pie pumpkins |
 |
| Watermelons were also growing. |
 |
| Two that had very different colors right near each other. |
 |
| Carl and Jimmy were helping others who were picking pumpkins 20# or more and putting them at the road between the fields for pick up. |
 |
| On the way back to the farm, they drove past a field where cotton was growing and Carl snapped a couple of quick pictures. |
