Pumpkins!

<p>Shareholders will get a pumpkin in this week's share. Several varieties of winter squash will be coming soon. </p> <p>Yesterday Carrie, Kenji and I harvested pumpkins, about 3,600 lbs worth. We carried the pumpkins to the wagon by hand, so once the wagon was full we were ready for a break.</p> <p><a href="http://kolya.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sep_12_getting_started_with_pumpkins.jpg"><img title="Sep_12_getting_started_with_pumpkins" height="262" alt="Sep_12_getting_started_with_pumpkins" src="http://weblog.clagettfarm.org/images/sep_12_getting_started_with_pumpkins.jpg" width="350" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Above Carrie and Kenji are barely starting to load up the wagon. Remember that we harvested about 3,600 lbs. </p> <p><a href="http://kolya.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/pict0354.jpg"><img title="Pict0354" height="430" alt="Pict0354" src="http://weblog.clagettfarm.org/images/pict0354.jpg" width="350" border="0" /></a>&nbsp; </p> <p>One of the many pumpkin laden bins Carrie carried.</p> <p><a href="http://kolya.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sep_12_pumpkins_driving_back.jpg"><img title="Sep_12_pumpkins_driving_back" height="262" alt="Sep_12_pumpkins_driving_back" src="http://weblog.clagettfarm.org/images/sep_12_pumpkins_driving_back.jpg" width="350" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Driving the wagon to the wash station. We did have an unscheduled stop when on an uphill a bale gave way and a portion of the pumpkins cascaded off the wagon. Luckily only a couple of pumpkins were ruined. </p> <p><a href="http://kolya.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sep_12_pumpkins.jpg"><img title="Sep_12_pumpkins" height="262" alt="Sep_12_pumpkins" src="http://weblog.clagettfarm.org/images/sep_12_pumpkins.jpg" width="350" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>And here they are. Resting in all their glory until someone picks them up. Some of them will be shipped off to our Dupont drop off and and others will go to Anacostia. </p>
