Front Bed II

Much to my disappointment, something ate all the buds on my pumpkin plants while I was on vacation. Very much too my disappointment. I've never had such troubles from bugs and grubs other than slugs. :) I had moths all over my scented geranium and Japanese beetles.

The peas were certainly a better choice than the beans, perhaps the choice of a colder-weather variety also helped.

In lieu of my own pumpkins, I regret to inform you I had to purchase a couple...

Pierre.

I must admit though, I think he's the best one I have yet to carve.

I will carve the other at a later date, extending the festivities throughout the month.
