    I've never tried growing pumpkins. I don't know why.
    Those are very pretty...
    will you be making pies or jack o' lanterns... or both?

    Looks like a pretty good haul to me. How many vines did you plant. I think they are quite nice.

    Those are nice looking pumpkins. I'm curious too. Pies or Jack-o-Lanterns or both?

    They are really perfect ones. I should grow them next year. Bet the chickens would love them.....

    I decided to grow one garden for me and one for the chickens. :D :D They liked so much out of my gardens this year.

    I kinda wish I could grow pumpkins but it's a little big for my small patch of land. You did a wonderful job those are beautiful pumpkins!
