Hitchhiker Pepper: Dave Wurtz holds a pepper his grandson Marvin found in the pepper patch at Loreburn Farming on Sept. 25. Marvin thought it looked like a hitchhiker thumb, as Dave demonstrates, adding that he used to hitch his fair share of rides back in the day. Asked what causes a bell pepper to take such an unexpected turn, Dave said it was stress. Dave’s son Steve, who is garden manager at Loreburn Farming, said it was probably the cold weather that contributed to the misshapen vegetable. All the peppers at Loreburn Farming were picked last Wednesday in advance of freezing temperatures that were expected to hit the region Friday.
Frank Nizinkevich brought this purple potato that weighs two pounds, 11 ounces to The Leader office last Friday. The potato was grown by Michelle Ringdal and family, who farm west of Kenaston. Frank also sports a modified Farmers Edge ball cap. He added the words “are on” to explain the mood in the agriculture community this harvest. Thank you Frank for dropping by The Leader with the potato. We miss your mother Annie’s visits this time of year. Annie Nizinkevich was an avid gardener and regularly brought in fine specimens from her garden. If you have garden greats, (it sure would be nice to see a big pumpkin) please send a picture to davidsonleader@saskatel.net, text 306-567-8638 or drop by like Frank did.

years Evelyn (Westman) McVeigh, Glennys McVeigh, Brent and Faye McVeigh,
