Meet one of our La Estrella pumpkins. These are a tropical beauty, developed to be grown in Florida winters. When brought north, they nearly double in size.
Next, I grapped one of the Silver Edged Squash. While these will be unedible, that's fine for us. We carve 'em up with faces and roast the seeds. I can't wait.
Known for their green and white striping, when something scars the side of a fruit, the stripes will come together at that point. On this squash, it formed a butterfly tattoo on her side.
As time allows, I'll be grabbing more of our garden pumpkins for photographs, hopefully some of them before they are scared.

Update: the jar the seeds for the green and white squash calls them Thick Margin Silver Seed. Whether they are the same or very similar to a Silver-Edged Seed, I'll have to ask Jason, the pumpkin farmer in the house.
