I mean, the Summer and the heat, oh the heat. But, end it did and Fall is here.
The rains came and took down some more leaves, they still haven't turned the brilliant reds of past years but it is a colorful and bracing Autumn.
I know where Al Capp got his inspiration for his Shmoos. It had to have been from the gourds that grow so well in any garden. Below are a small sample of the ones from this year's garden. I'd never grown them before and was seduced by a seed package last spring. What fun. However the varieties shown on the package and the results were not the same. I only got about half of the varieties they named. Will try a different supplier next year!
