Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see the different markets and cultures of our friends here on steemit. I have been pleasured by all of you, as you send in the most wonderful posts. Going places, doing things, buying merchandise. I have been surprised by many, not being familiar with the culture and I must say that it has been such an educational experience for me in so many ways and I hope for you also. This week, I am of to the markets in search of some pumpkins and gourds!
Today, I went searching for a few harvest pumpkins and gourds, which are currently being picked by the local farmers. There are plenty to go around, but they are being picked little by little - most are still in the fields curing. By curing, of course, I mean they are still in the ripening stage. The pumpkin is harvested when the color is uniform and the rind is hard. The farmers watch the weather for the nighttime lows now, although here in our area, we have been still having summer weather. But, all it takes is one hard frost to kill the vine. Once the vine dies, the fruit will no longer mature. Yes, they are a little dirty from the field, but, I promise you, they will be clean and pretty when they are ready to be sold.
I have to be honest with you. I think these large orange and green gourds are my absolute favorite.
Pumpkins are king at this time of year. They come in an assortment of colors - blue, green, yellow, white multi-colored and red. I am sure that I may be missing some. They can be tiny, oblong, squat, round, shaped like a pear, tall, and some so big they take a small crane to move. There are some that are better for carving, many, better for eating and then some are just pretty and are better for display.
When I was a child, the appearance of winter squash epitomized autumn: squash, pumpkins, and gourds. Glorious winter squash! Acorn squash, butternut squash, hubbard squash, spaghetti squash, cheese pumpkin, delicata squash, kabocha squash.
Admittedly, I love them for their seeds, so I pick a nice heavy one... On average, a medium-sized pumpkin will usually have about 1 cup of seeds that can be salted then, dried and roasted. Yummy!!!
Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world. I want to dedicate this flower to @Kalamendra who colors my world every single day.
An object of beauty is a delight, until the end of time, never passing into the vacuum of oblivion. Forever budding, until it blooms. Enchanting.
Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place!! Thank you! ❤
I hope you will join us as we share different markets. It has been such a pleasure to see markets from all over the world. Who doesn't love to see what they are selling? There is always a curiosity attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! So don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery, art galleries, wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Don't forget to use the hashtag #marketfriday and @dswigle.
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!
Question: How many years are there between 5 B.C. and 5 A.D.?
source
Answer! Can you guess??? Nine! Because there is no year 0!
Did you know that gourds are of different colors, shapes, and sizes? Farmers harvest them before frost- after the fruit is mature. As these gourds mature, the stems turn brown and dry up.
Pumpkins!!! Who doesn't love pumpkins? Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice latte? Pumpkin bread! Oh, the glorious pumpkin.
I couldn't decide, so I bought a gourd!
Let the sun shine in on your life
So the joy may touch your soul

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
warsan shire

Well, thank you for pulling it all together for a #MarketFriday post! No even late and you dropped the link, along with the pretty cool picture! I saw something like that in Home Depot, I think (or Lowes?) and it would have scared the bejesus out of any little kid. You look a tad intimidated yourself.

🎁 Hi @theluvbug! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @dswigle!When I was little, pumpkin pie was the only pie I would eat. I loved cake, but hated pie, except for pumpkin pie. I'm still not a big pie guy, but I do like several others now too. :) I was a weird kid when it came to food, lol.
That's quite a collection of colors on those gourds, and they make for some beautiful shots. I think they have pumpkins that weigh a ton, don't they, where they have the Giant Pumpkin contests? I've seen pics of the cranes you mention lifting them.
Lots of kids don't like pie when they are young. I think it has to fo with textures. But, cake?? They love it!
I love pumpkin bread best of all! 😁 I never k ew that until three years ago!
We do have the largest pumpkin contests. And pumpking chunkin- where they compete how far a pumpkin can travel when it is catapulted across a field!
It is almost a sport! Lol

It wasn't only pie with me, I wouldn't eat gravy with my mashed potatoes, nor mayonnaise on my sandwich, (a more commonly disliked item). In a weird reversal though, I ate soft-boiled eggs when I was a kid, but won't eat them now. :) Thank you for the tips!
I can actually say I still don't eat gravy and never ate mayonnaise until I was an adult. Plus a few years. I will eat soft boiled, but, only if they are not snotty Ugh!!!
I think all kids have weird habits about eating and some adults too. LOL
The tips are my pleasure!
Oh, I LOVE gravy now! I can't even remember why I wouldn't eat it as a kid, lol. I was exactly the same as you with mayo. The first time I discovered that I actually liked mayo was when I was 20 and stationed at an army base near Pittsburgh Int'l airport, and I'd buy a tuna salad sandwich for lunch at the PX.
I had no idea mayo was an ingredient in Tuna salad, (I knew nothing about cooking then), but when I found out, that was when I decided to like it. Ever since then I really like it a lot.
There are so many foods I wouldn't eat before then, that I love now, like potato salad, chicken salad, macaroni salad, ham salad - on hamburgers and sandwiches - it opened the food world I'd been shutting out, and it was a blast enjoying all those dishes that I had shunned for the first time!
I couldn't eat soft-boiled eggs now. I can't even eat an egg sunny side up. I order my eggs over medium when I eat breakfast out. I won't go for them cooked less than that. :) Have a great day!

Pumpkins! Another reason to love autumn. I like to drive up through Amish country in Lancaster County, PA, to visit their farms in the autumn. They're such colourful things to look at and really bring out the feeling of autumn.
Me too~! That is where my dad's family is. One of the prettiest places to visit almost any time of year. I have already been up there once and need to go up again soonish.
It does say autumn, doesn't it? So lovely, but, please bring my summer back!

Oh, yes!!Pumpkin love! For sure! There were so many different kinds, it really was pretty amazing. And pumpkin seeds? Oh, yes!! Love, love, love them! I have already enjoyed some! I couldn't resist!

🎁 Hi @redheadpei! You have received 0.2 STEEM tip from @dswigle!Beautiful post. So many colors and texture. Nature is generous. I have been trying to post about our municipal market here, but it is such a dangerous place that pulling out a smart phone is basically an invitation to being robbed.
I am sure our market would win 1st place as the dirtiest one. We have amazing products here and nice people who work like beasts of burden every day to provide the town with all the goodies, but the whole infrastructure and surroundings is just amazingly disgusting. One day I'll find the way to take pictures and let them tell the tale
That truly breaks my heart. Nobody should have to live like that. Scary, and how terrible for families with children.
I believe that pictures speak volumes. They will definitely tell the tale. Thank you for stopping in and saying hello. It is much appreciated!

🎁 Hi @rem-steem! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @dswigle!Ah 'tis the season for gourds and pumpkins and pumpkin spice enemas and such.
I will have to go get me one from the farm down the road and carve it up with the kids. They told me of a hack. You don't cut the top off a jackolantern, you cut the bottom out! It makes it easier to clean out and you can set the thing over the candle instead of burning the shit out of your hand trying to reach down in to light it.
Hello?? Where have you been??? Of course, you do! :) And once someone tells you that one, you have to wonder who it was that decided the other way was best.
Right?

🎁 Hi @wonderwop! You have received 0.2 STEEM tip from @dswigle!Oh the gourds take me back to my childhood. Yes a younger Old Guy by almost 50 years. Me and Gary pulling a heavy wagon full of gourds that we grew in Moms garden. We went door to door in those days. A nickel or a dime here and there. That was my early education on markets and labor.
What a lovely Fall themed market you have. Although I have to say the decal/sticker pumpkins seem like cheating, but I get the allure. No for me, I will gladly take a hand painted one with all faults accepted. Genuine always rings well with me! Happy Market Friday!!! I am working away on trying to cobble mine together. However, I have a twofer possibly today!
Can't wait for the Halloween to come by :D
Oh, and I'm going to join the Market Friday challenge in a few weeks too :D
Hehe! It's coming for sure!!! They are starting to gear up for the holiday!! Some people really go all out for it and dress up to give out candy. I have done that and it can be fun. :)

It's nice too as if they arent, you cNnot drop the link here and they get missed. Many people post them on Saturday, which is fine
Iwill hunt then down, whichever day. :)
I was thinking most likely on Tuesday, lol. As I post once every 6 days and I have other posts scheduled already :(
Whichever day works for you, but, please link it to the #MarketFriday post later in the week on Friday, so more people will see it. Thanks!
Perfect! Sure. Thank you!! :)

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Pumpkin fritters the way my mom made them with brown sugar and cinnamon topping, yummy good! Super enjoyable vegetable, so versatile.
When our big white pumpkins (Crown Prince pumpkin) need some more time to ripen our local folk put them on the roof for extra heat for a couple of days, (that is my earliest recollection with pumpkins, most probably half my size at the time).
Oh, those sound delightful!! I love fritters and I love pumpkin, so I cannot imagine not loving this! brown sugar and cinnamon?? You really are calling my personal number!
It really is a winner in so many circles!
Ha! That sounds so funny regarding the pumpkins on the roof, but, I know that to be the truth, although we used the back porch. Crown Prince Pumpkins? I certainly need to look these up! I want to thank you for stopping by and saying hello!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
#MarketFriday loves you!

🎁 Hi @joanstewart! You have received 0.2 STEEM tip from @dswigle!You know I think you're awesome, right? Love the fall veggies, the carrots are getting sweeter every day, the tomatoes which will be gone soon seem precious, squash glorious squash everywhere calling out to us. Nice post as always. xo
I think you are awesome right back!!! Fall has the best veggies, doesn't it? The tomatoes are so very delicious right now and collecting some for the making of spaghetti sauce for the winter!
Thank you! You are always so kind! Always a pleasure to see you!

🎁 Hi @owasco! You have received 0.2 STEEM tip from @dswigle!One of the reasons I love this time a year. I may not enjoy pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice, I do love the all the pumpkin patches.
I haven't decorated for a few years since our kid population in the area has declined. And the hubby doesn't help me take things down, the brat. If I need you to help me put them up, I need you to help me take it down LOL.
Anyway back on track. Seeing all of the different pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, the hay and everything else is so comforting. The colors are always amazing (even more so since I left So Cal) I had rarely seen a tree change colors. There were a few that would and of course evergreens don't. Seeing what happens in other areas AMAZING.
So happy that you could stop by! Oh, taking the decorations is not nearly as fun as putting them up! I agree! Well, I still have kids at home and they love to do decorating and don't mind taking it down. I love pumpkin patches too!!! I even love pumpkin pie!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I wish you some great color as you peruse the pages of Steemit! Have an amazing rest of your week!
#MarketFriday loves you!

🎁 Hi @ireenchew! You have received 0.2 STEEM tip from @dswigle!I love pumpkins, their plant is something incredible, to see how something that looks so weak is in the end very strong and that gives us its divine fruit! Unfortunately here you don't find such vivid colors, but they are still delicious!
The colors of pumpkins are varied and different, but, you are right, they are all pretty delicious, no matter what color they are!
It is fun to watch as they start life so tiny and plump up to an amazing size! Thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello!

🎁 Hi @foxyspirit! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @dswigle!I do SO love pumpkins and gourds and your happy photos were fun to look at.
It's that time.... fall.... everywhere except the weather !!! Nearly a hundred here yesterday. I'm still hoping for some in-between weather before winter drops in. Fall fun ahead ! I hope. :)
I have a little marketfriday.... and here it is !
https://steempeak.com/marketfriday/@jacey.boldart/i-gnome-what-i-like
I'm so glad that you liked my gourds and pumpkins! It is that time of year and unfortunately, the weather isn't exactly being amenable and is still warm and a little on the summer side. Although, this afternoon, old man autumn slid in just a tad and gave us a preview of what was coming!
I look forward to seeing a little bit of gnome art, seems like a mighty fine one, if I do say so myself. Excited that you joined the #MarketFriday challenge! Woo-hoo!
#MarketFriday loves you!

It felt a little like fall here too. It was overcast and about 66 !
Would have been a great day to play in the yard, if only I hadn't been at work, sitting at a desk all day.
Oh, yes... there is that pesky thing called work. I think I am just going to quit. I'm getting a little tired of having to go in every day.
Let's do it! Tag! You are it!
Believe me, I day dream about that more and more !
I haven't quite figured out what type of decor I would use under the bridge after though.
I'm still thinking on it. :)
Omg! That had me rolling! Something sparkly with lights. We can plug them in at the corner market.
Yeah... we can hold onto those long outdoor cords we have when we liquidate everything we have for the move. Good idea !

🎁 Hi @jenina619! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @dswigle!Lovely, Denise. We have a farmstall not too far from us that is famous for its pumpkins. Its Afrikaans name says it all: Pampoen Stalletjie. Literally little pumpkin stall. Will have to stop there some time.
How very cool!!! I love that name, but, it sounds so much cooler in Afrikaans!! :) Little pumpkin stall sounds just like a place I would be stopping in. I guess I had no idea that they grew pumpkins there, but, then I said to myself, why not???
Thank you for stopping by and saying hello, leaving your words behind!

🎁 Hi @fionasfavourites! You have received 0.2 STEEM tip from @dswigle!Some really beautiful seasonal gourds, Denise. I swear those blue pumpkins look green to me but they are pretty nonetheless. Squash really is a great winter food. I just discovered Japanese pumpkins last year. They are so nice and low carb. Can't beat that.
A feast for the eyes here:)
Japanese pumpkins? Do tell!? I have never seen them and low carb? I'm in! Now you have me making a note to check it out when I am finished here.
Thank you so much once again! I appreciate how kind and generous you are with your time! Thank you for stopping by and saying hello and leaving your words behind! It is always such a pleasure to see you!

Come to think of it i don't think Australia is in to Halloween i never had any kids knocking on my door or ever seen any kids on the streets quite boring actually that's why i am living in Thailand...lol 😜
Oh!! They don't know what they are missing! ;) You are probably the only expat I know who isn't having problems with staying in the country. Is that because you are not American, possibly?
Everyone is being given the boot, no matter how long they have been there. Boo. Now, that I have finally found paradise, they are slamming the door on me?
Ohhh...those American's just don't know how to organize themselves their got better visa terms then us Australia's they just like to winch too much and get themselves kicked out...lol... i have it all under control...hehe 😜
That's good. After 15 and 20 years, it almost seems silly. But, I'm not living there, so I have no idea. :P
