It is a fun time to check the progress of the pumpkin patch. They change quickly now!
The blossoms are providing food for the pollinators and the pollinators happily oblige by pollinating.
I remember the general area I planted different species, gourds to the west and pumpkins to the east … but nothing more specific than that. It makes it fun to see what is developing.
While at the patch, which is at Mom’s farm this year, I checked on the blackberries. My sister is the keeper of the berries:
These are “tame” berries (thornless!!) and are usually larger than wild berries.
She shared berries with me in exchange for a piece of pie!
Deal! Sealed with a fork.

It was delicious … I can’t make many of them because I can’t stay out of them myself!

The pumpkins or the berries … or the pie!?
Your pumpkin / gourd patch is going to be such a surprise when they are all showing off what they are growing. I love seeing what everyone has in their gardens this time of the year. Thanks for sharing !
It is fun! Now, to keep the nasty bugs away without hurting the good bugs.
That’s the challenge, right?
Why is the pumpkin patch at Mom’s this year?
Blackberries! Pie! Delightful.
