Click on a thumbnail picture below to see the full size version. 8 Entries. Tuesday, August 3 View Page Growing my first FP's...blossom side down...lol. Really just hoping this one gets big enough to be a decent jack o lantern. Pruned this vine as well a couple leaves after the fruit. Of course these were just store bought seeds and not any special lineage. Perhaps I can acquire better seeds for next year!   Tuesday, August 3 View Page These are basically just decorative pumpkins. It would seem they are beginning to ripen already. Somewhere between softball and soccer ball size.   Thursday, August 5 View Page Harvested a couple small ones today. Looks like the fall decor is coming out early!   Saturday, August 7 View Page Put a trash bag under this one because I'd hate to lose what will probably be a good carving pumpkin.   Saturday, August 7 View Page So pretty sure this is a stem split here at the base. Doesn't seem to have bothered anything but not sure how that happened.   Saturday, August 7 View Page Also something seems off with this stem as well. Again, vines don't look bad in any case.   Saturday, August 7 View Page This FP jack o lantern number 2. More round in shape than the other one. Maybe the bees crossed it with one of my pie pumpkins?   Saturday, August 7 View Page And here we have FP number 3 recently pollinated it looks like.
