I picked the largest pumpkin we grew yesterday. She was a fair size. I will save the seeds for next year. Thought I would share. GW

Hi folks. Looking out a couple days ago we saw an unexpected guest enjoying our apples on a tree out back of our home. He wasn’t a large one, but just the same we didn’t bother him. It looked as if he was sure enjoying them apples.

Thought I would share. The pictures aren’ t the greatest but it was the best I could get looking out window.

I took a picture of some of my Pumpkins yesterday. My wife will use some of them for decoration on Thanksgiving, some we will sell and the rest will make some Pumpkin Pies. Although the ones in the pictures aren’t Pie Pumpkins. Pie pumpkins are much smaller. I will take a picture of them in a week or so as they aren’t quite ready yet.

I took a couple pictures of one of our Sunflowers that I planted from seed earlier in the year. She is a large one, stands over 8 Feet Tall. I am thinking I will have to put a net over it shortly, or them pesky Blue Jays will clean up the seeds. I will keep an eye on it.

I took a picture of our lettuce and things earlier in the year. Thought I would share. We have been enjoying fresh salads all summer. It is pretty well finished now. We are going to miss it.

I took a picture earlier in the year of our garlic. It turned out quite nice. Sure is tasty. We have it hanging in our shed and will bring it in once the temperatures start to get real cold.

I can remember doing this years ago. Hmm, I guess I am showing my age.

Just goes to show you what we are dealing with when city folks visit the country.

Sometimes a feller can’t say anything right.

They now know that a chemical that comes from a compound found in Broccoli offers a potentially new and potent weapon against the viruses that cause COVID-19 and the common cold.

I believe that to be true, and I suspect that cabbage is another. Mix them with vitamin D 3 and I suspect you will be a lot better off. Especially in this day and age.

And for other health related issues, all’s I can say is what I was taught many years ago.

Eat a varied diet that focuses on high-quality foods such as whole grains, nuts and fresh fruits and vegetables. The more colourful your plate is, the better.

I thought I would share a picture of the largest one that we grew last year. I thought we did pretty good size wise.

Just before I went to till up my garden last Fall, I came across these that I missed. They didn’t go to waste, if that’s what you’re wondering. Especially the Tomatoes.

Hmm. Maybe I might be in need of some new glasses.

I would say this feller had a good crop of carrots.

Hi Folks. Just after our first snow fall, I spotted some Parsley that we missed in one of our gardens. So I picked it and my lovely wife dried it for future used.

I know, you’re probably wondering who eats Parsley? Ha Ha. Well, I guess it is a desired taste, but we both like it. My wife mixes it in with all kinds of soups and things throughout the winter months. And on top of that, it is very healthy for you. Especially your heart. Take care. GW

For all those that are thinking of cutting down your trees around your property. If you cut to many this is what could happen.

An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie
