  5. The second last photo, the red fruits, are they pomegranates? Just read a short news that US federal regulators have filed complaints against the makers of POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice, saying there's no science to support claims that the products treat or prevent diseases such as prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction.

  13. I all looks lovely and a lot of fun. The farmers have gone to a lot of trouble to give you some knowledge all they produce.

    Our pumpkin season is focused on the end of October with Halloween. Do you carve Jack-o-Lanterns?

    I love pumpkin pie. We also enjoy roasting the seeds in the over with salt on them.A great treat.
