The day my son was born we decided we were going to plant a pumpkin patch for him to grow so that on his birthday he would have all the pumpkins his heart desires ! We harvest 8 so far but I only took a snap shot of four ! We have four different varieties and two gourmet gourds for top tier pies I’m just so proud and this is the cutest tradition for our spooky little one
How fun!! I love this tradition! I actually have 2 pumpkins that we bought from the store last October that still haven’t rotted. Genetically modified I guess??? It’s so crazy they’re still whole
Omg THANKYOU!! our jsckolaterns were actually a pumpkin we smashed in the garden last year haha and it just took off! The rest we planted !! I have been trying this pink French pumpkin for three years now and we finally got it to grow hahah we need to make a sign tho that says “Blazes Pumpkin Patch ” so he always knows it’s his
Hahaha! That’s perfect! I love when I get free plants like that. Ours actually did start a few new pumpkin plants. They just didn’t survive the summer heat. I should have dug them up and moved them
Oh I love when I get volunteers it’s so great same with our acorn squash we planted some two years ago and we get a couple every summer just from that plant it’s wild
It’s okay we have a nasty heat here as well !! Giving them nutrients can help a lot but we still lose some because the heat is brutal here
We planted a pumpkin for my Halloween baby’s first birthday too we haven’t grown them since but I want to do it again next year because she is olde enough that she would love it.
