and this is why fall is my favorite season.

:-)

It's my third favorite season--not a glowing testimonial--but sometimes I like it very much. Gourds, however, ROCK.

Ha! So clever. Those pumpkins are perfectly spheroid, aren't they? And all the other stuff looks almost too perfect as well. Nice farmers' market!

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was sort of the Stepford Wives version of farmer's mkt. Everything looked suspiciously perfect. The corn was yummy.

you have PEACHES at your Farmers Market?!?

how cool is that?

there was snow in the Penna mountains (Alleghany?) when we drove over them today.

I was a little skeptical as to whether they were still harvesting NC peaches--it seems a little late for that--but God knows I'm no farmer girl. And I can't resist a peach. We had some fabulous ones this year.

Snow in the mountains sounds lovely. That's where snow belongs. Did you make it to Bmore today?

You definitely get cooler pumpkin gourd things and corn over there. Very pretty!

The gourds are so easy to grow, too. Even *I* can grow them. Once you plant the seeds there is no stopping them. I swear, you can practically *watch* them grow. The biggest problem is you need quite a bit of space to grow them.

That matches with my memory of growing pumpkins, which seem to just grow on their own and take over half a garden :) One to try out again when I have a proper veggie garden.

hey! those look like WISCONSIN leaves, not NC leaves!

: )

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

They are indeed! Ours are still green. AND Wisconsin tea!

Ooh, what gorgeous orange pumpkins! And truly, truly massive!
(I've only ever seen the smaller green-skinned variety. Are the orange ones normally that size??)

And the gourds look fantastic! Autumn is wonderful. I shall have to post some spring photos for contrast, though :)

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Green pumpkins?? Really? These aren't big for orange pumpkins, they were among the smaller ones they had cuz I was too cheap to pay for bigger ones. Some of them are HUGE.

Yes, spring photos, plz.
