Fall Garden Finds

While something ate my elderberry, all is not lost.

I have found some garden treasures, 

some hidden away and some in marvelous display.

This sweet little pumpkin developed on the vine

that trailed out into the woods.

Then I found this orange sized green ball.

An undeveloped pumpkin?

No!

It's a watermelon from the vines I thought had died off.

Here it was hidden in the weeds.

I cut it open, obviously not good for eating,

but took a small taste just to see what might have been.

Delicious!  Maybe next year?

There are several other small pumpkins that 

I doubt will turn orange but I'll bring them in

soon, just in case.  If nothing else, they will

make fine decorations.

Another little treasure.

We had cool temperatures,

hot temperatures, then

cool and wet temperatures.

Nature couldn't make up its mind,

so typically St Louis!

I have roses reblooming

at the same time the burning bushes are beginning to flame

Bees are flocking to the honeysuckle that 

decided to bloom again as well.

While the nearby mums start to open.

Of course you all have seen my short,

late season beans.

And the crazy potatoes that started to grow.

I wonder what could be next?
