Garden Spiders and White Pumpkins

Halloween always includes a good spider!
Orb Weavers comprise a huge family of spiders with several hundred species in North America.
They are great additions to the garden by eating the insects that fly into the web.
This particular spider kept our grandson entertained this Fall.

This year all our pumpkins are white.  Whether on the window sill or in a wood bowl, I love the look.  
These are "Baby Boo" and only grow to 3".  You can find several white varieties that work not only for decorations, but also for carving and baking.  
Try "Casper", at 15 lbs it is a sweet tasting pumpkin and is perfect for baking.  "Cotton Candy"  (5-12 lbs) and "Moonshine" (8-12 lbs) are also good for decorating and carving.  
The smaller 2 lbs "Lil Pump Ke Mon" is just the right size for displaying.

  2. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic
    to be actually something which I think I
    would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  6. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your
    site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
    people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  13. A further issue is video games are typically serious naturally with the principal focus on finding out
    rather than entertainment. Although, there's an entertainment element to keep children engaged, every single game is usually designed to work towards a specific skill set or programs, such as instructional math or science. Thanks for your article.
