Here is our pumpkin patch. This is 2 plants. The one on the right is obviously doing better. We weren't sure if they were going to be yellow squash or pumpkins. We had seeds from both in this spot and they sprouted up this spring.
You would think that a plant this big would have tons of squash or pumpkins on them. Nope. We only have 1 pumpkin. It's huge. I can't get a tape measure around it, but it is over 12 inches from stem to the bottom. I have no idea how much bigger it's going to get, either.
We have had other pumpkins form, but they always rot. I think it might be because the flowers don't fall off. I picked the flower off the latest ball forming so I'll see if my theory is correct. Maybe we won't have to buy pumpkins at all this year!
We even have a little friend keeping our pumpkin patch pest-free
