Look at that beauty as it hangs on the fence out back. I don't think it will be quite ready for Thanksgiving pumpkin pie but we can be patient a little longer.
Now as some of you know, I have been trying to get something to grow here for a while, so it is a great thrill to look out at the fence and see not just one but two pumpkins getting fatter!
I have tilled, turned, rock picked, weeded, composted, and mulched. I have started little seedlings and transplanted and must say my efforts have been mostly in vain. For you see this pumpkin volunteered it's self out of the compost pit and grew with a fury. For this pumpkin I did exactly nothing to get it to grow. Once the flowers started to open I even went out and made sure the male and females had some contact, sad to say though, that fruit just shrivelled up and fell off. So I gave up and decided since it didn't need my help to get started it maybe didn't need my help to finish.
Isn't that a picture of grace, something I don't deserve and can't even work for to get!
