Peek-A-Boo
One last attempt from our pumpkin vine to actually grow a pumpkin this year. If it happens, considering how late in the year it is, it may be one of the tiniest pumpkins ever, like walnut size?
Every year in October we throw a Harvest Fest for our backyard visitors. Most years we've been lucky enough to have a pumpkin vine or two weaving throughout the arena we set up.
But the last few years, nature has not cooperated, whether it's been weather or critters creating havoc, there's been no vines. This year, after planting dozens of seeds, multiple times, one finally survived - this one - and has been struggling the entire spring and summer. It's even bloomed a few times, but nothing came from those blooms, and the jury is still out on whether this bloom, peeking through those leaves, will fulfil its destiny.
