Knottycarrot Tink here.

We had a lot of fun judging the "My Bell Pepper Looks JUST Like Elvis!" veggie photo contest! It's amazing what strange shapes peppers and tomatoes can take.

You can see all of the contest entries on our Flickr, but this particular one (RIGHT) made us laugh.  What exactly is going on here?  

What would YOU caption this photo? >>>  
Post yours to the "Comments" section for this post! 

Park Seed employees are welcome to play, this is not a contest, it's just for fun.

Thanksgiving Feast

Thanksgiving celebrations are almost universal throughout the history of the world,
different cultures celebrating the end of a long working summer,
celebrating the harvest. Even thousands of years before the pilgrims
ever landed at Plymouth the native Americans were feasting. In 1621,
they just happened to have a few hungry European guests.

You can celebrate your own harvest this year, providing much of your
Thanksgiving feast from your own garden. It may seem a little early to
start planning, but there are are plenty of cool-season veggies that
you could plant now and harvest for Thanksgiving.

Today is September first – 86 days until Thanksgiving Day, Thursday,
November 26th. Beets will mature in just over 70 days. Broccoli in 60.
Most lettuces and cabbage in 60 days. Peas in 65. You can get the seeds
now and have all these vegetables for the holiday. And if you've
planted and squash and pumpkins they should be ready by the end of
October or beginning of November. There are also a few things you can
do to extend the lives of your other garden plants into the fall.

So, plant now and harvest for Thanksgiving. Share your bounty with your family and friends.
