June 29th


I was gone most of July and early August but took this today, Aug 21st.


And look what was under all those leaves!


20.0, 16.8 and 15.4 lbs.  With lots more still hiding.  Looks like there will be pumpkin bread for the smoke out again next year!!

Garden looks great but what happened to your yard next to it?   ;D

Pumpkins look great!  Now you can have one of the kids wait in the patch for the Great Pumpkin  ;D

Is that hay you laid in the garden? Is that to prevent weeds?

Very interesting! I have a pretty big garden at my house, and this has given me some good info.

They just had a small write up in the company rag about one of the guys growing giant pumpkins.  The one in the picture was around 650 pounds and it said his biggest was over 1400 pounds.  I have never grown a pumpkin, many other veggies  though. Your look great, nice carving or eating size.

Problem with growing big ones they will crack if you feed them to fast. This one cracked a week ago

If you stay still and quiet for a very few minutes you can hear and see pumpkin vines grow

That was some mighty fine pumpkin bread you brought to the MWSO.

It sure was, I wish I had some now to put in the toaster oven and slather some butter on it for dessert. ;D

Thanks.  I'll pass this along to the baker.  Two years ago she put up 165 cups of pumpkin.  Each cup enough for one pie, one loaf or one whatever recipe.  Perfect crop management as she made the last into bread last week.  She plants a special "eating" variety.  They don't get real large (40 lbs tops last time) but they sure make great deserts!  Last count there were 7 more under those leaves and they're still setting.

At the point of asking a stupid question...can you smoke pumpkins??  :o
