Pumpkins

Chad planted seeds way back, which were from some prize-winning giant pumpkin stock. I don't know how giant our pumpkins will get, but the plant is certainly enormous. Since the vines were threatening to take over the yard, Chad and Handy Manny thought a little containment was in order.
Note to self: Pumpkins drink way too much water. Next year, we should try to grow a giant aloe vera or something.

There Was the year when the Koches
arrived home from vacation only to
find that we couldn't get into the
garage because of the mass of pumpkin
vines across the driveway! The year
before Mom had let the kids carve the
pumpkins on the kitchen steps and
the clean-up had been to hose off the
area. Wow! were we ever surprised!!
and after that were careful of where
we put those seeds!
Lotsa fun.
