I have always loved Halloween! Something about dressing up and becoming someone or something else! I always preferred scary costumes- witches, ghosts (one year my mother made us three youngest kids devil costumes-I think she was trying to tell us something). One quick gardening tip for Halloween. After Halloween I take my used inedible Jack o' Lanterns and toss them and, most importantly, their seeds into a waste area in the garden (that spot that isn't used to grow stuff) and see what emerges. This year I came away with 15 or so little pumpkins, most Jack Be Little ornamental types, and a few pie pumpkins. You never know exactly what you will get (pumpkins cross fertilize with other squashes easily) but it is fun!
Happy Halloween! Keep those hands in the dirt!

Remember to recycle those pumpkins! Unless you can eat them!

My Dad just showed my your blog! Can't wait to see the monticello pictures!
Happy (almost) Halloween!
Hey Lookbooks- who are you???
I'll get working on the Monticello entry and photos- a great place to visit (totally excellent gardens, IMHO).

I don't want to say my name online, but I love Jane Goodall and John Adams! I hope that it is a good clue. Sorry for the late response- end of the quarter and lots of tests.
Hi Lookbooks! I know who you are! I should have guessed from the user name. I will be posting the Monticello entry soon!
Judy
