That's so generous of you. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to grow anything squash or pumpkin due to squash bugs. I hate 'em...

It's ok. If no one accepts them then I will just get them started and sell them. Thank you for your interest in them

I was impressed (and a little jealous) with your harvest!

Thank you but it seemed like that pumpkin wasn't ever going to get ripe enough to get picked. I thought I would just have to roll it over and collect what seeds I could and toss it to the chickens and ducks.

Here, that's why pumpkins are raised -- to feed my livestock. Oh, I process a couple. But mainly I plan to use for feed source. Turnips, too.

Turnips, too.

I eat them turnips, lol! Never enough to share... Might toss a few of the greens to the critters, but only because I have collards and prefer them over turnip greens.

I love turnips and the greens as well as the collard greens. I have to buy spinach leaves and cilantro to make a green salad because my son and I love eating our greens.

I love cilantro in a salad; it really ramps up the flavor!

I love cilantro. It's just got the aroma and taste that just makes you feel so happy.

Have you ever grown any?

Have you ever grown any?

Yes. I had cilantro growing for a few months and then the weather took a crap and it died due to the heat. I didn't think that I would eat a turnip but my mom said it's similar to a potato so I cut one up and added it to a potato and fried them for breakfast and yes I can add turnips to my fried potatoes and maybe mashed potatoes.
