I know its not a real pumpkin. Still, it is a real good idea. Look how cute!

You meet the nicest pumpkins, I mean people, when you are camping. Mike and I were in Door County, Wisconsin last week for our annual honeymoon. Prime fall colors, prime fall weather. Both of which are so much appreciated when you are camping, even if you are roughing it in a camper, not a tent.
Sorry about the poor quality of the photo. The high quality of the idea still made it post-worthy. And now, to balance out for yesterday’s yuchh pumpkin, we have today’s over-the-top with beauty pumpkins…
Asters are expected to bloom this time and year, and they just plain old do that. They come in a variety of colors and sizes and are likely to come back repeatedly. Can’t say that I know what kind mine are. If I had cut them back earlier in the year, I could control their height. Preferably, buy plants that grow to the height you want. Goldenrod has a bad and undeserved reputation for allergy sufferers. It happens to bloom at the same time as nasty things that do cause allergies, but please don’t discount Goldenrod as that is just a coincidence. Butterflies like it, and so should you. Be sure to get a hybridized plant like the Solidago Goldenrod you see here. It has been in my yard for years. It blooms reliably and is not at all invasive like the Goldenrod you see running rampant at the Forest Preserves. These plants are in full sun, and get no special care. Isn’t she lovely! Door County has just got to be the best place for pumpkin sitings. Wow! A whole safari of pumpkins at Sycamore. |
