Pumpkin Field
Without pumpkins many of the early settlers might have died from starvation. The following poem is a testament to the Pilgrims dependence upon pumpkins for food:
For pottage and puddings and custards and pies
Our pumpkins and parsnips are common supplies,
We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon,
If it were not for pumpkins we should be undoon.”
Pilgrim verse, circa 1633

Growing our own and then eating it
My garden through the seasons
What I Wish I Knew Before I Retired
Sallys Garden. My thoughts as I garden, design and travel.
My own little allotment of land (in whatever form it takes, whatever I do with it, or dream of doing) serves as a springboard for creativity and happiness.
Our flowers and plants are healthy, local and friendly to the environment as well as being beautiful.
