The end...?

Happy Halloween!

I made this jack-o-lantern from my first pumpkin from the garden!

This is the last post of the gardening season. I dismantled my garden box and pulled out the plants. I will be back next spring, I may post a few seasonal photos of the park during the winter... keeping an eye on the spring flooding!

See you in the Spring!

bonanza!

Isn't this great?! I harvested 4 of my pumpkins, I thought I should do it before they are stolen! One of my pumpkins was half eaten on the vine, so I threw it into the compost, but I did find two more green ones...so hopefully they will survive. I figure that's not bad for the 2 seeds I planted! I thought I should take the eggplant and another zuchinni! So it is ratatouille tonight!

And on the pumpkin theme I found this Pumpkin Ale from the Great Lakes Brewing Company at the LCBO. Can't wait to try it... I thought I better buy it when I see it, because with these local breweries you see them once and then never again in the liquor store...I tried a nice beer from Railway City Brewery in St Thomas, ON called Spike Amber....mmm good beer, never to be seen again at the Liquor store...not fair.

Pumpkin's Progress

I keep checking and I still have 5 pumpkins growing in my plot. 2 of them are starting to turn orange!

Well, the beans are done, the peas are done, all that is left in my garden is pumpkin, zucchini and eggplant and some basil. I picked a zucchini for dinner tonight and I was invited to pick the corn in the children's garden! We had that for dinner as well, was it ever delicious!!

Hatching an Eggplant!

From flower to fruit:

Cool Pics!

Last weekend at the garden I got lots of great flower pics! The bees were lovin' it!

The plot next to mine has some lovely Cosmos!


These are happy sunflowers!

OH! and a real flower on my eggplant! I spotted at least 3 flowers in bloom, could actual fruit be far behind?

And the best for last, these are two of my entries into the First Annual Green Thumb Shutterbug Photo contest. I won 2 gift certificates for VanHorik's Greenhouse!

This was chosen in the Wild Side category (Common Burdock):

and this was chosen in the Bountiful Harvest category:

I didn't plant this cabbage, I saw this cabbage in Nik's garden, "beautiful plumage" wouldn't you say?!

RIP Tomato Plants...

How sad and pathetic is this?

To the landfill to help old computers, tv's, vcr players, 8 track players, etc decompose...

All that is left are these 2 markers...not so "Bonnie" after all...:(
