Pumpkin Update: August 20


Well, the great pumpkin finally looks like a pumpkin. It's color has turned from a lemon yellow to light orange and it is no longer completely smooth as it has developed the lines that run from top to bottom that give it sort of a segmented look. The pumpkin is about the size of a basketball.

While admiring the pumpkin patch a brand new emerging baby was noticed that is forming from a flower.

Pumpkin Update: August 6


What a surprise! What was a cute baby pumpkin less than one week ago grew to 19 inches around in only days.

The pumpkin is the size of a cantaloupe and another baby pumpkin has appeared. It looks like the pumpkin patch is off to a good start. On Aug. 8, the pumpkin plants were fed with Gro-Power Flower 'N' Bloom.
