December 4th & I just mowed the front pasture. Usually, I’m not mowing this late, but we didn’t have a real freeze (20’s) until 2 weeks or so ago. With the rain interspersed with mild weather, the grass has just kept growing.
My garden is in the front pasture, so I started mowing around that & kept on going. The yard proper has quit growing after the freeze, so that’s a good thing. There are some patches of grass in the back fields I’ll probably run over this week, maybe around the barn & that “should” be it, except using the mower to round up leaves & pine needles for mulch - mine for next year are bagged & under the pole barn so these would be for mom.
Mild day (57 at 4:15) so I didn’t freeze myself half to death like the last time I was on the mower. Pleasant ride on Clyde, the smell of fresh-cut wild onions wafting in the air (LOL).
Blue pumpkins ....
Last year, there was a blue pumpkin that I was tempted to order seeds for, but didn’t. Then I couldn’t find anything like I thought I remembered ... you made suggestions, but they didn’t seem a match to my (faulty) memory.
I got my Seeds ‘N Such catalog today, which is where I saw that pumpkin last year. It appears it was “Blue Prince”. The pic is sort of what I remember - the description definitely sounds familiar.
I doubt I grow pumpkins in next year’s garden because they take up so much room, but I would love to find a couple of Blue Prince to buy because they are supposed to be very good eating.
