no more jarrahdale ...

I had to rescue the seeds from my one and only Jarrahdale. Sorry no pix. Moma in her hurray and oh so ear numbing cold was mowing the yard. Yup, ran over my only Jarrahdale! Yes, blue pumpkins are ORANGE on the insides much like their American cousins.

I went out to bring in the last two pumpkins and my heart sank when all that was left was a dirt patch were the Jarrahdale was resting. I looked and looked wondering where it was. See I was looking for a whole pumpkin not the pieces and guts. But then I saw parts and then the guts so there I was fishing through the cold and slimy grass for whole seeds. A lot of them are chewed up by nasty mower blades but I gathered up as many as I could. I do have some whole ones. So here's to next year .. may it be a better pumpkin growing season...

Love seeds .. they are want continues .. Thank You, Awesome Creator

note: the blueberry bushes came in the snailmail on Saturday!

mad chow : bad bad for us blue bumpkins
