Pumpkins!

This is the greenhouse, this Spring, while we were struggling to get the plastic on a very windy day!



Today, on the farm the hoop houses are getting cleaned out. It is a very cold day so that will be fun... This past year the farm grew lots of vegetables including tomatoes, raspberries, pumpkins, blackberries, squash, and lots of onions!
That definitely deserves its own blog post, COMING SOON!




I grew these little beauties in our garden!




The pumpkins that are still in the field are glazed over with white and just barely holding their shape after this freezing weather.



This year we grew a giant variety of pumpkins that grow up to 500 lbs! I did have a picture but ayiyi! They were very big, to move them they had to be rolled onto pallets! Only two would fit in the bed of a pickup at a time.



Thankfully we don't just grow those monsters but other colorful varieties like Rumbo, pie pumpkins, One-to-Many, Casperita, etc.
The pumpkins that we ship wholesale go all over Kansas and some into Missouri.



Detail of pumpkin harvests later, for now, pumpkin tangent done. 😏
