I am growing pumpkins again this year, let me rephrase that, I'm growing a pumpkin this year! The first picture is last years crop with Gracie checking them out. The bottom picture is this years attempt. I only have one but it's getting a lot of attention. I haul a 5 gallon bucket of water out to it everyday. I have dumped manure on it frequently and it gets a good dose of miracle grow every week. The bottom line is I could get a pumpkin for Halloween cheaper at the store, but growing them is a lot of fun and a nice tradition. Hopefully Gracie will remember me as that old guy who grew her a pumpkin!
I love that tradition, and I think she'll remember you for a lot more than that.
ReplyDeleteI see several blossoms on that plant. It's a nice tradition and she won't forget what a great Grandpa you are.
