Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

Janoski's Squash & Pumpkins

LFLF did a little looking around on Friday at Janoski's Farm & Greenhouse for pumpkins & squash.  We were looking for the smallest pumkins for our fence posts.  There were lots of small pie pumpkins, but they were a little too big, so we went away empty handed, but got this great shot above of part of the selection available.  Plenty to choose from & there were several families circling the area for just the right pumpkin. 

Beaver Farmers' Market Fall Display

Luck held out for the farmers today at the Beaver Farmers' Market ...... lot's of rain Thursday night into Friday, but no rain today!  It was very windy all day & most vendors didn't bother to put up their pop up tents.

Oak Spring Farm Pumpkins

LFLF found just the right size pumpkins from Oak Spring Farm for our fence posts.  We picked the 10 smallest ones out of this crate.  Bonus - they all had nice handles!   I confess to liking the traditional tan/brown stems, not the dark green stems that the plant breeders select for currently ......
What else did we pick up?  Ginger snap cookies, red cabbage, edible pod peas - yes, this is the fall crop, Melrose apples - tart & delicious to eat out of hand, apple cider, & potatoes.  
Oh yes ..... our last LFLF post was put up HERE by mistake on the Wild Rose Farm blog ......
