Pumpkins

I love to grow and have pumpkins! When I was young, I once grew 36 in one year on our back yard, with vines running all over our hedge. Our neighbor was pretty tolerant.

It is also a mini-interest to see how long we can keep our pumpkins. This year probably set the record, as the pumpkin I bought (not much action growing them last year) lasted almost to May, from a mid-October purchase (see the winner at the left). Alas, by then it was rotten, and I had to toss it in our garden.

But if we are lucky, its seeds will give us a pumpkin this year, and it will last even longer. We will see.
