The Harvest is In!

There's a special kind of satisfaction that comes from gardening, and it's never more apparent than on harvest day. After a summer of growth, my pumpkin harvest is finally in!

This year's pumpkin harvest!
A sure sign that autumn is officially here.

It's not a massive haul, but these two beauties are the result of a season of sun, water, and patience. The vibrant orange one is ready for classic jack-o'-lantern duties, while the dark green one might have a future as a pie. Whatever their fate, seeing them ready to be picked is one of the true markers that autumn has arrived.

Wherever you are today, I hope you get to enjoy the fruits of your season's labor.
