While we are knee deep in tomatoes from my sons garden, not a single one of his pumpkins grew. Growing his own pumpkins might have provided him with some pride and bragging rights, maybe not having any pumpkins is a good thing. If we had grown more of our own vegetables we might miss out on going to some of the local farm stands, one of my favorite places to go in the fall. All the variety of local grown veggies, the homemade baked goods, the colors and the smells, it is certainly a New England must! Now excuse me I am off to make a stew from all the yummy veggies I either grew or bought at my local farm stand:)
