Enlarge this picture so that you can see how the apple tree is being engulfed with giant pumpkin vines, leaves, and blossoms.
This gargantuan pumpkin is wedged in the crotch of the tree, with branches holding it up.
This is a better view - the next puzzle is, how does one harvest a pumpkin out of an apple tree without damaging the tree? Our friends, Kitty and Leo, planted this unusual plant, nurtured it, and then went on a trip for about a week. When they came home, the vines had taken over huge parts of the garden. The seeds for this plant came from Russia many years ago, from Leo's family (who now live in North Dakota.) The pumpkins last, and can endure a lot of cold. (Makes sense.) We will be anxious to try this epicurian treat later this fall.

Fall is on it's way, nothing says it like any kind of pumpkin. These are beautiful pictures!
Also, if all else fails, you'll have to get them out a slice at a time. This is a very incredible, you should post them somewhere where others can see it and pass it on. This must be shared. Andrea would love it if she could ever get her computer to work.
