From Just One Seed

We've got pumpkins.

It's about the only thing that feels like fall around here!   Sam and I planted some pumpkin seeds in a pot last spring.  One seed sprouted and grew fast so we moved it to the back flower bed where it grew and grew and grew some more! 

Looks like we'll get two pumpkins out of this monster plant.  These pictures were taken almost a week ago - the pumpkins are much bigger now!  We have a smaller one that is turning orange fast and a big green one is thinking about turning orange any day now.  The blossoms are big and orange and blooming every morning when we wake up and look out the back windows.  Sam has fun checking on our pumpkins once or twice a day, to see if they're "gettin' orange yet". 

Happy October!
