Some people go to the Pumpkin Farm and pay money per poundage for their pumpkins. We pay our money for the seeds and plant the pumpkins.
The yard becomes a viney mess and when mowing the grass you have to go around the patch.

But it is all worth it on the day when Pumpkin Picking time is here!

"How many more pictures mom?"
|
 |
"I planted this one!"
|
 |
This one is mine!

 |
| Heavy? A Little. |
 |
| Finally strong enough to cut his own! |

| A thick stem is hard to cut |
Before we carve these we will weigh them to see how heavy they are. By having the pumpkins right there in our yard we are able to watch the growth from a seed, to a bloom, to a flower, to a green pumpkin and then finally a pumpkin. Now for the vine clean up (always wear gloves the vines are very pokey)!
