During blossom time there might be 6, 8 or 10 bees in each blossom, working their way up and down. I've never seen such bee action before!<br /><br />And Jan, the fun varieties are so cool, aren't they? Some of them don't do well... so we'll assess each one on its production merits and its smile-making ability. If it made customers smile, then it might be worth lower productivity! :)<br /><br />And the Long Island Cheese is amazingly delicious. It is even better than butternut squash and I'm in love with the shape!!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-75126524473636072222017-11-02T13:06:34.119-04:002017-11-02T13:06:34.119-04:00Wow.

I feel so ashamed! And I have never seen such variety in pumpkins! Wonder what`s up with Canadian farmers? But I aim to make some pumpkin cookies this week. I went to Tim Horton`s for their famous (or so I thought) pumpkin glazed donuts only they didn`t do them this year. Sob! So now I have to make my own pumpkin something and cookies is going to be it. :-)Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-65542084197586911982017-11-02T10:01:04.916-04:002017-11-02T10:01:04.916-04:00I'm amazed at the variety of pumpkins on your ...I'm amazed at the variety of pumpkins on your farm! No wonder folks come from far and wide!<br /><br />We have a pumpkin patch or two around here, but none of the interesting varieties. Someday, I'll have to look into the possibilities of growing my own. I'd love to try the Long Island cheese!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-5579580224167816642017-11-02T09:51:46.157-04:002017-11-02T09:51:46.157-04:00Cate, I can't wait to see it.

There's a squash out there called Sweet Dumpling but it doesn't grow well here... it isn't resistant to our prevalent diseases. <br /><br />I'm not sure if the Long Island name came from Long Island or if it's just because cheese rounds were huge on Long Island... So I just went and looked it up! It's considered an heirloom seed pumpkin, so I'm glad someone saved it from extinction.... because it's amazing, Cate. Very smooth and rich and sweet all on its own. It was "domesticated" in the 1860's in New York (so Long Island????) and I'm delighted it's fashionable now!

It’s the dirtiest moldyish-looking thing, but she swears it is amazing. We’ll see. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your bounty, Ruthy.
