Local Harvest Indeed!

So this vine appeared in my yard. I have reason to believe it was spawned from the CSA pumpkins my neighbors' children carved for jack-o-lanterns last fall.



So tonight, these...




...became these!




(These babies are at their peak of deliciousness for about 10 seconds, max. One shot only for the photo! You can't exactly let them sit in the heat after picking them, either.)

Delicious!

UPDATE: I was asked to write a little "Guest Blog" entry for the Crooked Sky Farms website. That's the farm that supplies my CSA. I wrote a bit more about these blossoms, and included a recipe of sorts.
Here it is.
