Harvesting

The kids love the golf cart, and they absolutely adore the garden!  Here we are, headed to the garden again to harvest.  We have an order placed by Great Auntie Nora for a green and an orange pumpkin, and from Great Aunt Sue for more pumpkins for her lake home.  (Claire and Brody are geared up with boots and gloves, Max wasn't feeling the boots today!)
Ready to harvest.  Bethanie and I spent some time out here over the weekend getting rid of some big weeds so that the harvest was easier for the kids to find.
A pumpkin each!
Max is learning about peeling Indian Corn to reveal the exciting colors inside.  They could have done this all day!  Max's piece here was a gorgeous maroon variety.
Claire's turned out to be shades of pink, and that wasn't even planned.  She DID NOT like to leave the peelings on, which Omi does to enhance the beauty of the corn when using it to decorate.  Claire and Brody liked the clean cut look much better.
Brody is not a fan of the silk as we are peeling, so I eliminate that part for him.
Here we are with our Indian Corn harvest.  Heading back to Omi's.
