Mysteries

Looks like all these guys are on the vacation of their lives.  My poor pumpkin vines.  We got not even one pumpkin out of the actual pumpkin patch.

I'm thinking these are three separate stages of the dreaded stink bug or probably more likely squash beetles.

The squirrels have had a banquet on this beautiful, huge tomato from Mr. John's yard.

There are some beautiful strawberries left.  Amazing.  Early fall we will be cutting them back to about 2 inches tall for the winter.  We will cover them with straw and hope they go nuts next year like they did this year

Sad last really small and ugly cucumber.  They were a bust this year.  We planted twice.

The last little pumpkin on the vine.

Then I found that all the rest of the little pumpkins that were trying to hanging on were covered with some kind of mold.

Bug dance party on the pumpkin leaves before I burn them.
