The herbs had to come in due to the frost warnings last night. My sage, rosemary, oregano, winter savory, and marjoram all look healthy for now, although I am sure they will not like the long, dark, cold Pennsylvania winters. We will see if they survive my "attention" this winter.
I have been very fortunate to have many ladybugs in my garden all season. I suppose this is one of the last ones until next year.
Zinnias from a friend...what a nice surprise since most of all my flowers are done for the season.
The only pumpkin I successfully grew amongst all those vines was this thirty-one pounder. I planted the French heirloom seeds called Rouge Vif D'Etampes. It is believed that the author/illustrator Charles Perrault (1628 - 1703) used this variety as a model for the pumpkin Cinderella's godmother transformed into a coach.
