The ledge over my front door never gets direct sun and, as the weather turns colder, is well protected by our porch. As I need a squash, I bring my stepladder out to the front porch (we have a tall house) and fetch one.
Tracy, yes, because our porch is sheltered on two sides and faces south. However, I usually use the squash up by December because I decorate with evergreens and berries.
And you don't worry about spiders? I only ask because that's a favorite place for the eight-legged at our house. (never mind that I might have a itty-bitty phobia about it.)
Those pumpkins are such a pleasing colour match to your door and surrounding paintwork. It's a good thing pumpkins are quite a heavy vegeatable (or are they a fruit, not sure) otherwise I would be worried they may get blown down in a gale onto someones unsuspecting head, lol. florrie x
Punk, spiders don't bother me. Other bugs, yes. I was always taught that spiders eat the "other bugs" - oh man, I hope that's true because I don't usually kill spiders.
I enjoy the conversation in the comments - thank you for that. I will answer your questions here in the comments. Please note that I don't want the world wide web to know my family's surnames and location. Generic comments with links will be treated as spam and deleted.
How lovely and practical at the same time! I adore your beveled glass, arched transom.

Gorgeous! And I thought they were just for decoration (the ones over your door, that is). How neat to have them as decor AND delicious meals!
