Gleaning Pumpkins

On Thursday, we visited the Davis farm to glean pumpkins... we had done this last year and enjoyed getting pumpkins and winter squash (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/10/visiting-pumpkin-patch.html).

Gourds and pumpkins -- we have a friend who makes beautiful art from gourds... so this one made me think of her!

There were lots and lots...

... and lots and lots...

... and lots and lots of pumpkins!

What we gleaned. Jimmy and Regina will use the larger ones for the chickens, we got the smaller "pie" pumpkins....

... and some smaller decorative pumpkins (and we think maybe Delicata winter squash).

Lest you think that there were only smaller pumpkins... Carl pretending to try to lift one...

The back side of the large pumpkin - it was cracked.

The owner of the farm said that what he sold this year was almost all large pumpkins, leaving him a lot of the medium and pie pumpkins. We will enjoy these!
