My dads gardens (he has a few) are full of fruits and vegetables this time of year, so I loaded up a few bags of produce to take home with me to Houston -- okra, persimmons, lemons, satsumas, kumquats, basil, arugula, radish, cayenne peppers, jalapeño peppers, bell peppers, mustard greens. (Throw in the crabs and the fish my dad catches in the lake, and my parents could provide an excellent diet for themselves year-round.) There were some small dark orange pumpkins that had come up in the pumpkin patch from last years crop and a new variety of eating pumpkins my dad planted this year, bigger and more yellow than orange, and I picked a few of those too, leaving the largest ones behind for Parker to discover later in the week, but I forgot them in the back of the pick-up truck we used to haul them in. Dammit, I was looking forward to making pumpkin soup.
