what's that? the great pumpkin?

I had some squirrels take seeds from pumpkins I set outside to decompose from my yard over to the neighbor's yard and bury them. Check it out....plants came up in her flower beds by her shed and pumpkins are coming on!!

a litte more fall........

a bit of fall.......

my small pumpkin patch.........is blooming!

Earlier this year my son and I sat out 2 pumpkins we had kept in the house all winter from last October. Finally in February the largest one started leaking all over the kitchen floor so I told him we HAD to move them OUTSIDE to allow nature to take its course and allow these to decompose. I told him the seeds might take root and grow into a small pumpkin patch/plants and we might be able to grow some pumpkins of our own! So reluctantly he went along with this plan and we moved the pumpkins outside. Over time they slowly decomposed until they were nothing but seeds in the grass. Those seeds DID take root and We DO have a small pumpkin plant/patch now growing in our backyard! Below are some photos.....




and our wind chime is all smiles......
