How did we end up here? We've lived in Northern Illinois for 29 years. Way too long for this vegetarian! Thankfully, we're only 90 miles from Madison,WI.

Homegrown pumpkins

First things first, Bears 3-0. Go Bears!

My gardening season is winding down for the year. We headed over yesterday to pick our pumpkins.



We netted 9 "carveable" pumpkins and 6 cute miniature pumpkins. I was off to a rocky start but I was pleased with how much I was able to reap from the small plot I had. I harvested about 100 tomatoes off 4 plants and 25 jalepenos off 3 plants. I'm hoping next year I can get myself organized to grow a complete salsa garden by using container gardening in my backyard.
