Cotton Harvesting Time
Having been away from home for a couple of weeks, I didn't realize that the pods on the cotton were almost ready to start picking. There are still a lot of blossoms on the plants which I hope will still form pods and produce more cotton, but there are many pods drying now and starting to pop open. Aside from the obvious usefulness of being able to spin my own cotton, I really enjoy watching these plants as they go from seed to seedling to full grown plants with their delicate pale yellow to pink flowers and then the pods and cotton itself.
