PUMPKINS!

Some of my friends and I started this silly little pumpkin patch down at the community garden. We had delusions of grandeur, and it turns out thus far this summer we've just struggled to keep the darn things watered. Today, my friend Linda and I decided we needed to get that garden in order! So, we went down this morning and had a huge weeding party. The before and after is pretty impressive. And, it seems like we're going to at least have a few pumpkins. I hope to carve one. 

Gardening is something I really enjoy doing, and I look forward to hauling a baby around my garden patches. I can just picture him chilling out and enjoying the sights and sounds and smells while I wrestle with a thicket of weeds :)

 

BEFORE! (seriously, you can't even tell the difference between the pumpkin plants and the weeds)

 

AFTER! (omg! pumpkin plants!)

 

Isn't it the cutest?! We have 7 of them growing.

 

I was sweaty and tired and look like a crazy person here. But Linda (behind me) looks hard at work.
