Okay, a lot has happened here since the last post. I have been raising - as in bottle fed and kept in the kitchen - three little pigs, as their mother died giving birth to them. So sad, but piglets are doing fine. Last week one of the cows got out and damaged the corn and sunflowers in the garden. As if that wasn't enough, she ate half of the pumpkin in the previous photo. Grrr! So I have kind of let the remaining pumpkins grow without my worrying and assistance. Perhaps that is a good thing. Pictured is one of the 811 Gerhardt pumpkins. Color is getting more orange by the day. I hope to make one of the weigh-offs that is coming up next month. It's been quite a year for growers in SE Pa. Weather has been something else this year.
