Happy Halloween
We have been growing a huge pumpkin plant in our backyard since about March. We decided since we have already had snow and it's almost Halloween we should probably pick our pumpkins to enjoy on our front porch. Wouldn't you know it-we got exactly six pumpkins-one for each of us. We lost two off the vine a month or so ago in a horrible wind storm but we just sat them on the cement and they kept turning orange. We have two pumpkins that are HUGE!!! One of them is flat on both sides so it doesn't sit up by itself and Brett says it probably weighs about 60 lbs. It was so fun to watch them grow and watch the kids get excited about them. I don't think we will carve the two biggest ones, they are just too big but the other four are going to get their guts ripped out and carved with some crazy Halloween picture. I can't wait to start over again next year and see if we can out-do what we did this year.
