In the spring of this year, Jenna and Zach were out in the yard playing, when they noticed our old, smushy pumpkin from the previous year. It was full of seeds that I assumed the birds would come eat at some point. My Dad and I were sitting on the swing and he "encouraged" them to plant the seeds as something to do. So Jenna and Zach planted several of the seeds in my flower bed, and afterward, they gave the seeds some water. My Dad said not to worry, because they would not grow. Apparently someone sprinkled a little pixie dust on those seeds because tonight, I picked my first pumpkin off the vine!
Here's a pic of the first pumpkin:
We noticed another pumpkin growing on the vine...such an odd place to grow. I guess we will have to get something to support it so it doesn't break off before it is ready.
It's kind of neat to watch these grow. I hope we will have some when fall comes around!
