I'm close enough to Redding to use the frost date for them. It's also good to know that they will ripen off the vine

I'm hoping that my pumpkins ripen before it gets too cold. It's already getting cold at night so hopefully they will. I have a large pumpkin out there and it's still completely green.

Beautiful pictures. I would have probably had a heart attack seeing that polar bear

Picked 8 pumpkins today and don't know how many more are either not ready or hidden to the point I can't see them.

If anyone wants some pumpkin seeds and tomato seeds let me know. I'm drying them out right now

Found some more tomatoes today that were buried under the weeds and pumpkin plants. I will post pictures tomorrow

The 2nd grandson and the middle granddaughter

I'm going to the olive garden for dinner tonight to celebrate my 2nd grandsons 18th birthday

I'm not really too good at baking but I intend to cool all of the pumpkins and any sweet squash I get and make some cookies and bread. I might try making a pie for the kids. I meant cook.

The biggest pumpkin that I picked yesterday and forgot to bring it in. The other one was weed whacked off the vine and I found it today trying to do a little more weeding.

Went out to feed the ducks and found a pumpkin that I forgot yesterday. I went and told the neighbor that her daughter can pick the pumpkin growing over the fence and she offered to trade me a butternut squash for the pumpkin. Works for me.

It's green not black but I couldn't see it when I picked it. If it's not ripe then the chickens can have it because I still have so many more in the garden.

My pumpkins I picked today.

Nope. I probably thought carbon monoxide and not dioxide because I didn't care for science.
