Welcome ☺

Mama Pea this pic is for you! I have my first ever pumpkins turning orange!!! Of course we are getting a frost Friday and Saturday morning :/ but after battling squash bugs and the heat wave I'm covering these babies up so hopefully they will survive until Thanksgiving!

  2. Hi Kelly, Pumpkins are so much fun to grow . . . and to watch grow. They mature so fast and their vines seem to grow a good 6 inches a day. Good luck with them . . . maybe you should call your county master gardener, because I think they rot if they freeze, but I am far from knowledgeable on the subject. Did you know that you have an expert at your finger-tips? I think that every county across America has they own master gardener on call at the courthouse :)
    Thank you for the sweet comment you left about my kitchen sign post.
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)

    1. Connie, this is the first successful pumpkin patch I've ever had. Squash bugs and heat waves are a big deal around here! We have a great county extension center that I never think to call, thanks for the reminder ☺

    1. Oh no! I haven't seen an armadillo in forever! I used to see them all the time on the side of the road or as road kill :p I googled it and I think the vine will die but not the fruit, doesn't make a lick of sense to me so I will cover them and hope they survive!

  5. Always nice to see the orange start to appear. I didn't have any luck with pumpkins this year, maybe next!

  6. Hi Kelly, I found your blog at Mama Pea's. I really like it and was wondering what font you use? It is so cute.
