Ok so after 3 years of trying to grow one, this year it is turning out to be a good one. not only did the plant take off and grow (unknowingly to me on exactly how big). I know have a single pumkin. So I am offically doing the happy dance.

When my girl was a Wee One We tried for years to grow Pumpkins Always Ending in Epic Fail.
The last time I went to the Store bought some sat them under the vines. She never New the Difference. It was the Best Crop of Pumpkins I ever Had

I planted 24 pumpkin plants at the end of June. They are big with vine's everywhere. I have 1 2lbs pumpkin already and about 10 that have pollinated and are doubling in size every day. I am very excited also.

I just take the old pumpkins at the end of Halloween and let them rot in a corner of the yard.
It must be black magic because we always have pumpkins sprout up every year.

My kid has already picked a half dozen.
