We planted pumpkins in our flower garden bed this year. The rabbits loved the blossoms. I fenced in a little bud and actually grew one pumpkin. The squash was much happier with more room to roam, a better source of water and sun.

Every week of the summer I pick sunflowers at the Root Connection, the CSA where we get vegetables to eat all summer long. Ken picks basil and kale while I pick flowers.
