This gourd is called a "Crown of Thorns," but I thought it looked like the little girl Octopus from Finding Nemo. On Saturday soccer was canceled so we spent the morning moving and spreading compost. My 6-year old had a blast! We brought home summer squash, tomatoes, corn and green beans as well. Did you know they plant corn at the end of July as a tribute to the Mormon Pioneers who arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847? Some years the crop comes through and this year looks like a good year. The corn should be ready this week.
Much help will be needed in November to put the garden to bed under it's leafy comforter. If you come help after the first frost, you're welcome to take home a pumpkin (first come first served). Carrots, celery and winter squash will be available then too.
