The only thing we can't do here is giant pumpkins....it's just too hot. The corn is drying and once it turns a bit cooler I'll spend a morning shucking it and saving the seed.HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-36520625614663820672016-10-21T07:04:15.722-07:002016-10-21T07:04:15.722-07:00*has it dried?*has it dried?Stephen Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657698116552267561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-71223814984506196742016-10-21T07:03:48.519-07:002016-10-21T07:03:48.519-07:00And the corn is beautiful!

Certainly no humidity to rot them but I always thought they liked a lot of water. Though I remember you saying in years past that your pumpkins had so much more flavor tha canned or grocery store "pie pumpkins". The pumpkins grown here don't really have much flavor.
