Didn't get into the garden today as Lady Bender's sister is visiting from the Denver area. She has a fair sized garden there and I have gloves that will fit her but it looks like it may rain for the first time in 45 days.

This years pumpkin crop was a flop this year. We got one 25 to 30 pounder and the rest are small and only 8 total from 3 hills 6 plants…

I'll trade you your squirrel for this overgrown rodent…

Nice looking pumpkins though too few. Between the deer and bears, I am amazed that you have a crop of any kind.
