Mr. Pumpkin is tired.

Here is our big guy. He measured in at 68" today. Up only 1" from last weekend!

As you can see, he's not exactly small.

We were wishing that he'd get much bigger.

Pumpkin's at dusk...

Here's Mr. Pumpkin in the evening.

Here's Sprout. See how pink he is?

These are a few sunflowers that are growing near the pumpkins.

Just chillin' with Mr. Pumpkin

Today Mr. Pumpkin is 63" of great round-ness. He is looking better than ever. Can you see him peeking in the picture? The light one is Mr. Pumpkin. The Orange one is Sprout. I think that they like the sunflowers.

Wow, today is the day!!!!!

Well, here it is! Today is the day that the measuring tape got too small for Mr. Pumpkin. We knew that it would come, but who knew that it would be this soon? I gave him a big hug and an encouraging speech today. He looks wonderful. We just need a new way to measure him. Any ideas out there? (Lifting him is NOT an option.)






Brothers. Here are King Kong and Mr. Pumpkin. Mr. Pumpkin is the lighter one. King Kong is turning very orange.











Here is little Sprout. He's looking great. Small, but pink and very happy.







Who is this little guy? He's green!

Latest info on the big guy

Look at Mr. Pumpkin today! Almost 57" around.








This is a nice picture of Mr. Pumpkin hiding. Look at the difference between the colors of Mr. Pumpkin and King Kong.

Go, Pumpkin, Go!

Today, Mr. Pumpkin was 54½ " around! He listened to a little John Mayer today and seemed to really enjoy it. Grow, big guy, grow!




I am sorry to report that Sprout has a bug problem. Something has decided to bore a hole into him. We are very sad about this. If anyone knows what to do about this PLEASE write back with the remedy. ANY help would be appreciated.






This is a new little friend that my daughter found in our garden. He sat on her shoulder for a long time.

Mr. Pumpkin and friends.....

Oh my! What have we here?

We have names!

Thanks to all who voted and to Mrs. O'Brien's class, the babies have names. Here they are:




This shy one is Sprout!











Here is Godzilla









This one is King Kong





I will post more information about the three new pumpkins very soon.
Thanks again to all who participated. I think that all three are very happy with their
new names.
