Jeff left his pumpkin outside last fall and eventually moved it off of the porch to a spot in the yard where I normally plant flowers every spring. Well, he tilled up the spot so that I could plant the flowers I bought but before I could plant any flowers, we noticed that there was something else coming up out of the ground. Now, we have a HUGE pumpkin plant growing in front of our house! It gets bigger everyday!
It started off as just one little plant. Now I think we need to put up some little fencing so that it doesn't grow across the sidewalk and block the front steps!
This is the 1st pumpkin I found - it's on the sidewalk and very small.
This is the 2nd pumpkin I found. It's much bigger than the 1st one.
A better shot of the 2nd pumpkin.
The beginning of another pumpkin! There were a few like this - where the pumpkin was just beginning to grow. I don't know much about pumpkins, but hopefully we will have some nice orange pumpkins this fall! IF we can keep all the critters out of them - if you have any ideas, please let me know!
