Most Sundays after work, I stop by Sterino's produce. They also carry some outdoor pots and plants but really the main attraction is the local (and some not so local) produce. I'd decided to pick up some fresh corn as it's been particularly sweet lately, gorgeous fresh tomatoes, basil, and a few other things. Imagine my surprise when I drove into the parking lot and this field, previously full of plants for sale was now piled with pumpkins! I'd seen them ripening in the fields and knew that they'd be harvesting them soon.
There were bins of all sorts of great pumpkins, gourds, squash, etc. I really liked these huge warty gourds
Totally fell for these 'Knucklehead' pumpkins! Fascinating!
Like some animal breeds, these are so ugly they're cute.
Very colorful.
What do you think? Like them or think they look diseased?
There's nothing quite like the fragrance of fresh apples on a warm autumn day. I bought more than we needed for the week because each variety smelled better than the last.
Speaking of oddities, when did this happen? It tastes every bit as good as white cauliflower and doesn't loose that color when it's cooked.
How festive they would look together.
Here's to a wonderful, mild, and colorful autumn!
