you big hubbard

Can you believe that we grew this? It is amazingly huge. There are also a few smaller ones that are plenty large. The pumpkins and squashes grew in the part of the yard where there used to be a pole-barn type garage. They were very viney and huge. Did I say huge yet?

We also let the Queen Anne's Lace and other stuff that blew in grow along the side of the yard, but it has come to our attention that this is quite frowned upon, so we mowed it down. One man's weed is another man's flower, and ours were pretty raucous, but anyway, it's the end of the season and time to clear out all the beds and get them ready for their big nap.

And speaking of opinions...I was very pleased to have my chair cover posted on apartment therapy! (Hey there! if you've come over from that way) Luckily, I knew that better women than me had already been snarked in the comments, so I was prepared. Everyone's got to like what they like, right?
