My! How You've Grown!


From what I have heard many of the folks in our area are not having very good luck growing their pumpkins this year. Mandy decided to put in a small patch......mostly to entertain the kids and maybe give them a pumpkin or two for Halloween. She either has a really, really green thumb or she is having beginner’s luck, because so far her pumpkin patch is doing great! The kids picked out their favorites when they were still flowering and now it is a daily contest to see whose pumpkin is bigger.
 If the success of the pumpkin patch is truly because of a green thumb on Amanda's part.......it's safe to assume that she most likely didn't inherit it from her mother............as this would be an example of my work:

Wow! A patch like that should be the perfect place for the Great Pumpkin to rise up out of on Halloween night! Good job Mandy!

And Kim, take comfort in the fact that your hanging plant, while it may not be full and lush and Mandiesque, does at least have some blossoms clinging desperately to life!
