Harvest

We were worried.

Summer was cold and rainy and the harvest came late.  A pessimistic fog lingered in our farmers' minds about--the stems.  If it's too wet, the stems don't firm up enough.  If it's too late, they may never fully ripen.  These are the stems that we cherish, that our farmers proudly grow, that embody the unique personality of our velvet pumpkins here at Hot Skwash.  No worries, for the fog has cleared.

The stems are wonderous and plentiful!  As always, gleaning bold, curious stems from those rich, muddy fields is a dirty job, but we are just the ones to do it!

Never have seen a pumpkin garden that big before. I love to see them personally but I think it will be for another few months because I believe they are now covered with snow!:)

Oh, it's no garden. It's a medium-sized pumpkin farm in Portland, Oregon. We go out every season and harvest the stems after the "official" pumpkin harvest.
