A Darwinian Experiment...

...that will probably go horribly wrong. Well it's planting time in Illinois and most of the garden is in. We like to pretend that we live on a farm and have more space than we actually do trying to grow corn, zucchini, strawberries, cucumbers, red peppers, green peppers, broccoli, yellow and red heirloom tomatoes, carrots, onions, sugar snap peas, basil, chives, rosemary, oregano, and lavender in two plots. But what is really going to get us into trouble is the pumpkin patch. I disposed of some decorative gords in the fall back in the patch and they have erupted. Then we planted a Blue Hungarian variety, Prize winning Jack'o Lanterns, and here's the doozey - a seed that should produce a 300lb pumpkin. Did I mention the raspberry bush and butternut squash are also back there? Pictures will come later in the season when the vines begin to take over the entire yard.
