BOLO: PUMPKIN THIEVES!

[apple_pathways]

Someone has STOLEN one of my pumpkins!

I went out to the garden plot today to harvest my pumpkins and some veggies for dinner, and one of my pumpkins has been stolen! I had three, and now just the two. I'd been warned about vegetable theft from other gardeners, but naively, I thought it wouldn't happen to me. So sad!

Here's a pic of the two I harvested, along with some acorn squash:



For more veggie porn,

This is the last pumpkin, and the only one I haven't harvested yet; it's very small, and I hope it has time to ripen!	The Swiss Chard has been the gold star champion of the vegetable garden. It's produced yummy leaves all summer, and still looks fabulous while everything dies around it!
The leeks are getting big, and should be ready for harvest soon.
The one little red chili plant I have has produced a bumper crop of chilis! I'm stringing them up to dry.	Taters! I can't wait to eat these, I love home grown potatoes.

Thanks for your condolences! I'm almost over it. ;)

I was going to suggest you find a community garden in your area (assuming you didn't have a garden because you don't have space) and then you mentioned you live in Vegas.

Yeah, middle of the desert? I got nothin'!

LOL! Yeah, it would be so nice if there was one but desert... yeah.

There is a "Farmer's Market" on Thursdays but it's so crowded that it's hard to get in to find the best selection of vegetables. Though I did find some beautiful heirloom tomatoes. Mmmmm. Sadly, it's not always around.
