Meadowbrook Gourds

I obviously have a thing about gourds. I like making them into birdhouses and snowmen. I could hardly believe it when I found out that there is a gourd farm near my hometown.

While we were home this weekend, my dad drove us to Meadowbrook Gourds to check it out.

They just happened to be having a fall festival with activities.

I would have loved to see this gourd house when it was completely covered with vines!

They had an activity where you could draw on a gourd and they would cut it out for you.

Aaron drew this. I love it!

Garden progress

Our garden is coming along nicely this summer. Every day I get another big handful of these little heirloom cherry tomatoes. They are called Purple Bumble Bee tomatoes!

Picking quite a few of these larger Blue Beauty tomatoes too. Waiting for the Margaret's Peppers to turn red. Lots and lots of gourds on the vine!

But just one lone cucumber. We ate that right up.
