Pumpkin Patch!

Yay. Fun times at the Pumpkin Patch. If you live in the Los Angeles or especially the Orange County area you should really go check out Tanaka Farms in Irvine. They have an awesome “U-pick” pumpkin patch set up right now and they have year round “U-pick” veggies.

So invigorating pulling those veggies right out of the soil. Mmmm.

I am actually at this very moment enjoying a little soup I brewed up using the veggies I picked yesterday plus a little chicken, broth, rosemary, celery seed and some other seasonings. I simmered it for a long time and wow. So good. The carrots are like melt in your mouth soft. YUM. Kind of proud of myself actually ;)

It’s been a lovely weekend. Don’t want it to end. Matt has been enjoying some Oktoberfest beers and I have been sipping on mimosas and coffee most of the day. Oh AND I got an awesome mirror for the livingroom at Goodwill today!

Anyway. Enjoy the photos. A lot of fun can be had editing and putting filters on the photos with Photoscape. Which is a free download by the way ;)

View of the patch. It’s actually even bigger than this, I just couldn’t get it all in one photo :)



This is Harvey, our pick of the patch. Isn’t he handsome? I felt he deserved photo editing and framing :)



A close up of the veggies we picked. Baby onions, carrots, green beans and radishes. See the soil?



Me holding the veggies after picking them.  This photo was supposed to be more background, less me- but that’s what happens when you hand your camera over to the husband ;)



The end :)
