Pumpkin pumpkin


See these amazing blooms? Our bees have never been happier.

This is the first pumpkin as of about a week ago.

Here's the same pumpkin as of this morning. It's bigger than my hand, and the outside is kind of furry. I have no idea how big it'll get before it turns orange, but I'll try to post a pumpkin update.
When I made pumpkin ravioli a few months ago, I made up a little song to get Kent interested in trying it. As with most new foods, though, he is more excited about the idea of it than the actual eating of it. Still, he talks about making his pumpkins into pumpkin ravioli. And to make his parents melt, when he sings the song, he says, "rabioyi." Oh, how I adore three-year-old speech. Considering the fact that we have pumpkin in the freezer from last year, and we got two pumpkins from the pumpkin patch this weekend, I see many pumpkin delicacies in our future. Perhaps there will be pumpkin gifts for family at Thanksgiving, if they're ready by then.

Augh! I only mentally commented on this post! drat.
I was going to say that I had a squash plant this year that grew like kudzu and pretty much only gave me male blossoms. meh.
BUT I saw Jamie Oliver making stuff squash blossoms. Looked amazing!!! I really need to try. But, probably too late now. *sigh* That mental cooking doesn't really do it, either. ha!
