Pumpkin
Sadly, our little green pumpkin that was doing so well deflated and turned yellow. "Where’s my pumpkin go?" my poor son asked. The plant hasn’t stopped blooming, but I don’t know if I expect more pumpkins or not. Our raspberries look like they’re doing okay despite the fact that little bugs attacked the leaves this year. We got maybe an ear’s worth of popcorn.
We’ve been kind of neglecting the farmers’ markets. Sometimes they’re as much garage/bake sale as veggie market. . .there was a guy with an "edible lawn" sign last time, which intrigued me, but we just haven’t gotten back. Bill never seems inclined to buy anything there, so it seems a bit pointless sometimes.
We have been buying more organic and local food, so that’s good.
One of our flood lights went out the other day. I figured we’d get an LED flood bulb, but Bill’s talking about replacing the whole fixture, so I guess we’ll see what happens.
