Pumpkin Beginnings

Chris planted pumpkins seeds at my mom and dad’s house before we moved. Here’s a bit of the chronology of the first few weeks. We’re guessing they will be ready around Thanksgiving.

I’ve never had luck with pumpkins in Florida, bugs got to them fast and even if they lived long enough to bloom, nothing was pollinated. I’m interested to see what kind of luck with have with these.

Casper and Big Max were the seeds of choice.

Anyone had luck with pumpkins? I’m interested in organic methods, too. Please share!

    I grew *one* mini pumpkin on my very first vine, and it was one of the first blooms on the plant! That was it.

    I now have five gorgeous vines with tons of blooms and absolutely NO fruit growing on them. Oh well…
