Pumpkin Discrimination

One of the pumpkins is just about ripe, and I wanted to enter it at the Barnstable County Fair.

Unfortunately, there’s no category for pumpkins. Could be because they are just too large. Also, I would suppose for “real” gardeners, pumpkins shouldn’t be ripe this early.

Maybe next year I’ll get my act together soon enough to enter one or two “plate” vegetables, like beans or tomatoes.
