From the Six Arrows Farm Update...“This time of year is the best for coming to Farmer’s Market. The colors and smells are myriad and brilliant. When the sun’s rays stretch down our aisle, it looks like the hallway of a treasure chamber with glowing jewels of every size and tint piled in small mountains on either side. The scents are mellow and spicy, rich, ripe, and tangy. We managed to bring the camera along for pictures so you could see for yourselves!”
We were all devastated when my pumpkin plants ate up Emily’s flowers (accidentally, of course)and even had the audacity to thread their way through a few tomato cages!
But when those presumptuous vines yielded so prodigious a harvest we forgave them(at least I did…)and welcomed the lovely round shapes and colors so characteristic of harvest.
Mama loves the little green curly cues on the ends of pumpkin stems so we cut the vines farther from the pumpkin. They look so bare and lonely with out remnants of their vines. :)
