Fall Backyard Clean Up.

At the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin festival. The winning pumpkin was 1600 pounds. Just a little bigger than my back yard pumpkin.

Sun Flower and Bee

Cantaloupes and a Zinnia

Green Tomatoes.

Harvest for a family party. One day the zucchini was average size and the next day it can be used as a baseball club. A common story.

The pumpkin found a place in a chair in early June and now looks very comfortable and is growing quite well in July.

The Pumpkin Patch

Plums

A couple of back yard shots

Tiny ears of corn are now on the stalks.

The pumpkins are about the size of a tennis ball.

A yellow crook neck squash

The corn should be "knee high by the 4th of July", but it is already chest high. Three shots of the corn growing in the month of June. Good things are happening.

Herb Harvest. Basil, Flat Leave Italian Parsly, Rosemary and Oregano.

A peak at the new Beef Steak tomato. More to come...

Looks like we will have plenty of Zucchini. There are lots of blossoms and a few tiny Zucchini. Some say the blossoms are also edible, but I will be happy with fresh baby zukes.
