See that squash plant dominating the garden? It has huge orange flowers that open in the sunlight and close in the shade; in the mornings when they're open we watch the bumblebees go to work on them. We look to have a bumper crop of squash pretty soon. The only thing is...we didn't plant any squash! However that plant got there it wasn't through any knowing act of ours. You can imagine our excitement as we wait to see what kind of fruit it produces. The scarecrow is entirely our daughter's design; the pearl necklace draped on the pumpkin is its hair.
By the way, the ferny things in the squash photo are asparagus plants; we're told we'll have edible asparagus in a year or two.

Will the Grid be selling her designs exclusively at Target as well? I have dreams of a garden at the new place and may need a scarecrow! Also, are the squash flowers like the zucchini blossoms you can eat. If so, they are delicious!
I had but to look at this well-dressed, well-accessorized lady scarecrow to know that she was the work of my favorite little girl. I adore it that to my Inkfish, pearls = hair.
