Well, I just had to share this photo with everyone.  I picked all of these yesterday, Saturday, August 9th - as you can see - I'm ready for Fall! Hahahahaha  I've left these in the Stand with a posted sign for prices.  If you think you'd like to order ahead, please let me know.  I am also providing a few companies in Abbotsford and Langley with my pumpkins this year too, so I'm excited for Fall Sales!  The Big Orange Pumpkin is 42 lbs, the Medium Orange Pumpkin is 18 lbs, and the Medium White Pumpkin is 9 lbs.  I have three varieties of Mini Pumpkins.....orange, white, and orange/white striped.  The Green Gourd in the front is called a Birdhouse Gourd - when it is fully ripe, it will be a light brown/tan colour.  You can cut a hole in the bigger part, hollow out the gourd, let dry and hang to use as a birdhouse - so all you crafty people - stock up!  I will be doing some folkart painting on some of them over the Winter, and will have them ready for sale in the Spring next year!

Within the next few weeks, I will have Squash ready for purchase!  This year I planted Buttercup ( my personal fave! ), Green Kabucha, and Orange Kabucha squash.  They are all delicious, and I have a bumper crop this year!  I will also have Daikon Radish - an Asian specialty - very happy with this crop this year too! Yayy!

There's lots of Red Onions, and White Onions now, Leeks and Garlic too!  The second round of Cabbage will be ready in a few weeks hopefully - I have large Bronco Green Cabbage, and large Japanese Cabbage ( makes the best cabbage rolls! ).

See you soon!
Cheers!
