I grew pumpkins! My sweet neighbor gave me a package of Giant Pumpkin seeds (on average grows 400-500 lb pumpkins, according to the back of the package). I was determined to make it work.
This was my first one. Not quite 500lbs. Not quite 5 lbs. I'm pretty sure my hubby accidently/on purpose weedeated the vine it was on. Then my sweet babies dropped it. Maybe I wasn't cut out for pumpkin growing.
...but then we grew this one. It's a little closer to 500lbs. Maybe 30.
Almost big enough for both boys to sit on. Almost. (disclaimer- the boys chose their own attire, that is one battle I choose not to fight)
Ok, so I only grew two. The vine looks big enough to grow 40, but two is all we got.
We decided to carve this one. We bought this one.
Our very brave babysitter helped us carve this one.
...and this one. Crazy babysitter carved 3 pumpkins with 3 two year olds!
This picture cracks me up. I had a million outtakes and never did get a decent one.
And then I woke up this morning...Halloween Morning, and all of our pumpkins have been DESTROYED!!! The deer ate the faces out of all of them. They stepped on them and crunched them. Deer season will be opening early on my front door step, and I don't care that I am married to a game warden. :)
