Wordfuless Wednesday—How Does Your Garden Grow?
All we did was turn over the dirt and go on vacation. Apparently, that is all it takes to make this garden grow. Sunflowers, pumpkins, and tomatoes, oh! my! Happy Fall!
I'm participating in both the Wordless and the Wordful Wednesday groups, hence the name Wordfuless Wednesday. Join the Wordful Wednesday crowd by clicking on this button.

I am so excited for fall I could throw up!
Gardner Historic Village here we come!!!
September 10, 2008 at 12:02 AM
It's the fact that by "throw up" you really mean that you are excited! The translation comes over loud and clear, Cookie! (said sarcastically, of course ;))
Any news on Cold Play ticket prices? And yes! Gardener Historic Village is all ours when we get back from AZ! Talk about being so excited :).

I tagged you for a meme visit me for details :)
Love the pictures. I can't believe it's pumpkin season already!
September 10, 2008 at 6:29 AM
I wish that my garden grew that easily. I worked hard (I think), and all I have is shivelled up, strange coloure plants that don't bare any fruit. They are barel green actually. I don't get it. No green thumb here. But I can grow beautiful flowers! lol Great blog btw, I'll be adding you to my lst so I can come back and check it out. ;) Sex Diaries of a Mom

Wow! Gorgeous! How did you find time to do it? Great job!
Thanks for responding to my "teeth" post. Scary, but we are a lot alike :-) I feel better someone else out there hates going to the dentist as much as I do!
Have a great day!

Oh, I hope I lose some cellulite with this comment!
Your garden is awesome! I'd love to grow some pumpkins...carving them on Halloween is one of my favorite things to do.
September 10, 2008 at 7:42 AM
Thanks for stopping by. Can't wait to hear about all the pumpkin pies you bake from your pumpkins! :)
September 10, 2008 at 7:51 AM
Oh the jealousy! I so want a graden someday that produces pumpkins and sunflowers and tomatoes...oh my. Gorgeous!
September 10, 2008 at 7:52 AM
Oh beautiful! The boys would be so excited if we grew pumpkins. How fun is that???
September 10, 2008 at 8:04 AM
Next year I'm planting pumpkins now that I have a space for them!!
Very pretty!
September 10, 2008 at 8:10 AM
You forgot the part about planting the seeds in the first place. I want a garden like yours. It really does look like it's thriving! :)
September 10, 2008 at 8:15 AM
WELCOME FALL!!!!
September 10, 2008 at 8:18 AM
Gorgeous photos!
I know what you mean about the gardens growing...unfortunately for my dad, who has one, his is kind of dying right now in some areas. Doesn't help that my son has helped dig up onions that weren't ready to be dug up!
September 10, 2008 at 8:19 AM
so glad you have the green thumb...we are not so lucky here. no rain this summer at all...so everything is brown and shriveled up.
oh, and i expect you will post fun pumpkin pics later!!
September 10, 2008 at 8:32 AM
Love the pumpkin!
My sister called me last night and told me she emailed you. I am so excited you will be doing a feature on our steals and deals. I am looking forward to it!
September 10, 2008 at 8:48 AM
How fun is that? I want a garden to grow that way in our yard!!!
Fall is my favorite. Your pics just make me want it to come faster!!!
September 10, 2008 at 8:49 AM
Your garden looks awesome! I'm a bit jealous, LOL!
September 10, 2008 at 9:01 AM
I've got the tomatoes and sunflowers...the pumpkins, however, didn't pan out. Sigh. And I actually TRIED and stuff.
September 10, 2008 at 9:25 AM
Oh, this makes me so sad that I can't grow anything! It's awesome!
September 10, 2008 at 10:02 AM
beautiful!
September 10, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Hi. Came over from Angie's WW.It's a beautiful garden!!!
September 10, 2008 at 10:59 AM
Wow - I wish our garden would grow like that - you are going to be all set for Halloween...
September 10, 2008 at 11:04 AM
oh, I'm so jealous - We have ZERO pumpkins still!!!
September 10, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Ohhhh - that makes me SO excited to start our garden next year!! We have tomatoes this year...but they are next to our GARAGE...hardly a "garden" but they grew and I didn't kill them - pretty amazing for my black thumb. Way to go!! And you get to carve your own pumpkins - how fun!
September 10, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Awesome! I have wanted a garden for many years!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Yes, we are living in Asia right now. We love an adventure!
September 10, 2008 at 11:33 AM
What a great garden. I just started planning ours for next year...I hope it turns out as well as yours has.
I'm with you, I love Angie's Wordful Wednesdays. Thanks for stopping by.
September 10, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Looks great! Bit jealous as we didn't get one planted this year. Enjoy the bounty!
September 10, 2008 at 11:52 AM
No way! That would never happen for me.
Great pictures!
September 10, 2008 at 12:08 PM
LUCKY! If I did that, I would be up to my knees in nothing but ant hills and weeds.
September 10, 2008 at 12:20 PM
beautiful pictures!
September 10, 2008 at 12:36 PM

September 10, 2008 at 12:43 PM

September 10, 2008 at 1:08 PM

September 10, 2008 at 1:28 PM
This must be Prolific Pumpkin year as we had a bumper crop too but not one lima bean. Not one.
Congratulations! I plan on having an even bigger one next year. Of course, if I PLAN it, that means it won't happen...
thanks so much for coming over to my humble abode! I *thought* I heard someone knock.
September 10, 2008 at 1:55 PM
Wow! I'm impressed! You grow 'em big there!
September 10, 2008 at 2:16 PM
WOW- I am so impressed! I really want to have a garden like that, but I have black thumbs...I think I'm going to get a green marker and change that.
Beautiful photos!

September 10, 2008 at 2:59 PM
Wow...I work so hard at making my garden grow, and it still doesn't do very well! Thanks for stopping by my site! I look forward to reading more of yours! Your kids must be so excited to grow pumpkins!
September 10, 2008 at 3:22 PM
That is my kind of garden!! Where can I get me one of those?:)
September 10, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Love a good fall garden. It is still summer here, and I can't grow anything. Just too darn hot. I would love to grow a pumpkin!
September 10, 2008 at 4:05 PM
If I see one more garden post...I think I'll cry.
Left ours just sitting there...sniff.
September 10, 2008 at 5:16 PM
Very cool!
September 10, 2008 at 5:40 PM
Lucky you! A natural green thumb I guess. Enjoy the harvest!
September 10, 2008 at 6:17 PM
That makes me sad because hubby worked really hard to make our garden grow...and we got nothin'!
I just don't think gardens are meant to grow in Houston!!!
September 10, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Sunflowers, tomatoes and pumpkins are such a wonderful combination! I'm scared to try because all I grow died in my backyard.
And this comment better help my cellulite, gosh darnit.
September 10, 2008 at 6:53 PM
is that your garden? it's awesome!!!
September 10, 2008 at 7:28 PM
Ooo fun!!
Man, I hope I have your luck whenever I plant my first garden!!! It's gorgeous!
September 10, 2008 at 7:30 PM
Awesome!
We tried pumpkins this year and they got nice and leave-y and big....but no pumpkins. Hmph.
September 10, 2008 at 7:50 PM
oh man - i'm so jealous. next year i am definitely gonna do a garden. i miss having one :(
September 10, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Garden looks fab!! Wow!
Okay, how much cellulite was that?!? ;o)
So glad you liked the Octamom Sighting--I thought 1 of 8 did a great job!
Having a ball perusing your posts!
Blessings!

--- I had seen the "God's Billboard" at my church before, and I randomly saw it online. I had to search a while before I found a code for it, but I finally found one on photobucket.com!!
September 10, 2008 at 9:22 PM
WOW - fall is growing from the ground at your house!
Take care - Kellan
September 10, 2008 at 9:23 PM
The garden is lovely. What beautiful photos!
September 10, 2008 at 10:06 PM
I love the pictures! Sunflowers (along with daisies) are my favorite flowers, because they just seem so happy!;)
I love the fall....Sigh......
Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
Oh, and since I have managed to accumulate quite the large amount of cellulite on my thighs, I think I should return back several times a day to comment....After a year or two of heavy commenting, my thighs should be just about perfect.;)
God Bless,
Amy:)
September 10, 2008 at 10:20 PM
What a beautiful garden indeed!
September 10, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Thanks for coming by my blog. I appreciate your kind comments. I love the wordfuless Wednesday idea. I think I'll definitely do this one. I agree, it's hard not to say something.
Love your garden. I wish I could get stuff to grow like that in my yard. I just stopped at the nursery today and picked up some lovely fall colored flowers. Hopefully I'll get them into my planter tomorrow.
September 10, 2008 at 10:29 PM
PS really, commenting reduces cellulite? I love it. I may just go comment crazy now. :o)
September 11, 2008 at 12:11 AM
So fun to have a successful garden! We only had about 10 pear tomato plants survive the heat.
September 11, 2008 at 5:30 AM
how cool is that... you are all set for the fall
thank you for visiting my site
September 11, 2008 at 8:19 AM
Oh, your garden is exuberant! We live in an apartment - I want a garden like this! (in whining voice!)
September 11, 2008 at 10:54 AM
Uh I'm so jealous! We planted pumpkins and watermelons and they all rotted. I guess I'll have to buy my own punkins this year. I think the weather down here was too hot for them. Oh and thanks for commenting on my blog =)
September 11, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Oh you have no idea what I would give for a garden full of fruit / vegetables / flowers. I'm so jealous. So very, very jealous!
September 11, 2008 at 3:27 PM
That's great! We can't manage to grow the plants we put in the ground sometimes!
September 11, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Just in time for Fall! It will be so much fun watching them grow!
September 11, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Nice.. sunny shots. I can just about feel the warmth of the sun radiating from them.
September 12, 2008 at 7:06 AM
I wish we would've planted pumpkins this year! and sunflowers for that matter! Maybe next year. Especially if there as easy to grow as planting and leaving! :)
September 12, 2008 at 7:19 AM
You are an amazing (lazy) gardner! {tee hee} Seriously, that is great. Love that pumpkin, and just in time! : )
p.s. cute pics of you and your boys down below...
p.p.s. I'm no good at "wordless" either. Guess I need to switch over to Wordful.
September 30, 2008 at 10:30 PM
nice pumpkin.
we have some kind of squash-y thing growing out of our compost bin, a lovely orange flower but not quite enough of anything to eat (or display proudly on the porch) yet.
