Just for the fun of it, Jimmy planted seeds from one of our pumpkins.  It has been fun to watch it put on blooms, and see them unfurl.  It has produced huge leaves and a 9 foot vine, but so far no pumpkings.  Finally there came a white mildew from all the rain. It has infected a lot of the things growing in our gardens, and it covered those huge pumpkin leaves and wilted them away.  Much to our sorrow.  So I am so glad I took this picture.  Where in the world do you often find this gorgeous color. And check out natures color notes. Blue green looks good with a soft yellow green, with this lovely canteloupe color of the bloom.
 What is our project?
Well, we (Jimmy and I) are gathering seeds from our gourds, tomatoes, pumpkins, and whatever..and I pulled out some colorful envelopes from an old collection I had.  All of them were card envelopes from one company, all the same size. After saving them for all these years, I am finding they are the best for saving seeds in. Nothing fancy, I am writing what's inside with majic marker and holding the collection together with a large clip. Seed central, and I am storing it among the jars in my kitchen cabinet.  I am so looking forward to planting some of them and watching them next year!
In fact, I am already thinking what kind of junk I have that I can make a peice of art for them to cliimb on!  How cool is that?
