Last night as I did my evening inventory of the veggie garden, I realized that my pride-and-joy pumpkin was sitting in the dirt. I don't really consider that a problem, except it's in a kind of sun-less dark place anyway, and I want the whole thing to go orange quickly because the frost could come any minute now. So I went and grabbed a handful of straw to raise the pumpkin up a couple of inches. I came back to my beautiful beast, and bent down to lift it up from the bottom so as not to break the stem. Well. Didn't I scrape my cheek against one of the climbing pumpkin vines. It's about an inch thick and covered in these scratchy hairs, like velcro, and I scraped myself pretty good on it. I have a patch of minute little scratches on my face and it's all red. I watched a movie last night and applied aloe vera to it every 10 minutes or so, so it doesn't hurt to badly but still, that's pretty dumb.
Am I the only putz out there who can injure herself on vegetables?

As to the veggie-related injury, I must say I've never tried!
That's no fun. Good thing it wasn't your eye or something.
Pumpkins have developed intelligence. They KNOW about Halloween, the carving and the seed-toasting... Watch your back!
