If only this were an April Fool's joke.
I'm looking forward to another year of pumpkin growing!
Good luck everyone!

I started with 5 and ended up with 2. Both plants are doing the best they can.

I'm trying to post different content to different locations.
Feel free to like my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PumpkinFanatics/ and you can find
additional photos and information here: http://www.pumpkinfanatic.com/
It seems like I have different audiences at different sites so I'll try to keep everyone informed at all three places, but I do try to have different photos or content at each.
"Big and Orange" is theme this year!

This is a VERY late pollination. All of the pumpkins on this plant (1030.5 Debacco) have a long barrel shape fruit which I love. This is also the darkest yellow pumpkin that I have grown or seen at this stage. I am really looking forward to seeing the final color this fall.

A sea of vines. These 3 pumpkins are being grown off of the 1065 Corbin 2013 and the same plant. I know they will impress my wife's students and they will enjoy getting to guess the weight. The winners get to have them delivered to their house.

I have taken a lot of time away from the patch this summer. Catching fish is almost as good as growing pumpkins. The smallest is 18 inches and the meat is redder than a salmon. I love catching rainbow trout at the lakes around here!
