EEK EEK EEK


So my pumpkin now estimates over 1400 lbs and it is only late August. What does that mean? A whole more month of me being nervous about something going wrong!!! EEK!!! But on the plus side, it is a whole more month of potential growth. :) What a wild ride. I've never seen anything like this in my life; nature is awesome awesome.

In other news, we were presented with a "golden ammo can" for 1000 geocache finds. It was full of goodies and the guy who presented to us got so much stuff he had to put it all in a separate bag too! He did a really cool presentation and had researched us very well (bells, pumpkins, frogs, etc!).





School started this week and it has been a blast (but very tiring). I love the early parts of the year because the kids are still afraid to talk. LOL. Excellent.

Oh, man! Awesome job on both counts. I'm sending all the good vibes I can to your pumpkin to behave itself and grow, grow, grow!

What type of pumpkins do you grow? Is it a special KIND of pumpkin that grows so large, or is it something you do to the pumpkin that makes it grow? Also, what keeps the pumpkin from "bursting?" Very interesting! Grow pumpkin, GROW!
