Mystery Solved..........






Well, as I said in my last post, I had a mystery plant growing, the plant intself looked like a zuchinni plant, but there was a large white, and also a greenish gourd like thing growing on it. Now I never planted this, I think it came from my birds food, started growing right in my flower planter and I didnt have the heart to pull it up. Well, my old friend Raggedyoldfriend stopped by yesterday, originally we were supposed to swim and lay in the sun all day then we had an earthquake, and her kids called, and well, we never got to work on our tan, but she did identify the plant, and it is a pumpkin, which I suspected, but strange colors threw me off........there are 2 of them on the vine, one is pretty big and it is turning yellow, maybe it will turn orange after all......mind you, I have no clue when it will be ripe, same story with all the other stuff I have growing in my tiny little yard. It all started because I wanted a cute prim garden, Ive never grown anything, now I have all kinds of stuff......there are watermelons, and does anyone know WHEN Im supposed to pick them, like when they are ripe, how do you tell, lololol....and I even have butternut squash....not to mention tomatos, and cucumbers, and peppers and crookneck, and zuchinni.....sooooooooo, Im pretty thrilled that I can actually grow stuff........I might be hooked on this gardening!!!!! so if anyone out there in blogland knows when watermelon and pumpkins and butternut squash get ripe, drop me a comment........
For those of you who like musicals, run and see Momma Nia, I LOVED it,,,,,,,and omg Pierce Brosnon, what a hunk!!!! Darling movie, great ending, happy happy happy!!!!!
Today was national cheesecake day, and YES we supported our local Cheesecake factory, which is why Im gonna drag my big butt out for a walk, toodles!!!!

You farmer you. And I'm pretty sure that Cheesecake is NOT on the diet plan, however those veggies your harvesting over ther would be.

mom pick one of the pumpkins off so the other one grows, otherwise it will only get half as big. Maybe it will turn into a giant pumpkin!!

I agree with Glenni, you don't even plant and you can still grow....amazing.Sometimes the volunteers do the best, It is like they really want to be there. With the pumpkins leave them on the vine til it starts to wither, that is how they do it at the local pumpkin patch... and the rule is if you want them for Halloween, plant in June.....
