Good morning...I love Fall & pumpkins...and the FR Gardening thread!
A pumpkin seed came in with some soil we used. I decided to care for it as it grew to 10 ft by 10ft by 3 ft tall. The grey diggers loved its blossoms, so I tried fighting them off, but it was I thought, a losing battle. (My hubs air gun helped a little). Anyway, the leaves were sooo huge, they hid a few little pumpkins that now are getting orange, but only about 8” in diameter.
I ended up with eight lovely Butternut Squash in the compost bin this season! They’re almost ready to harvest. They’re probably the most well-fed squash ever grown! ;)
