Harvest Party at the Vinje farm
Jack's class (he is iron man)
As summer faded into fall, the boys and Nick had a great time harvesting our pumpkin crop. This year Nick went with a white variety, and also planted some seeds that we hoped would grow into mega-pumpkins.
Well, as you can see from the pics, we had a great pumpkin crop. We had plenty of white and blue pumpkins and 6 huge pumpkins. One pumpkin weighed in at exactly 200 lbs. so needless to say we were very happy to have raised such an interesting crop.
The boys are enjoying school and Nick is busy getting things buttoned up for the season. We had a really nice Halloween with temperatures in the upper 40s, which for North Dakota is awesome (we sometimes are trick-or-treating in snow).
Nick's cover crop that got planted in the middle of August didn't do as well as he had hoped. With little to no rain, not much grew....so we'll try again next year!
With Thanksgiving fast approaching we are hoping mother nature will be kind and not offer up any snow until the middle of December. Hey a girl can dream, can't she!
