Description
Over a year ago, our granddaughter’s school had a fundraiser and I purchased some seeds on a paper matt. Later, the next Spring, I laid those seeds out and tje prettiest zinnias grew….then stock, then poppies, then cosmos, then this vine began to grow. It grew and grew, but never “grew” anything. It just looked like a summer squash….ALL SUMMER! Then, just as quickly, these “things” began to form. It looked like a gourd, but eventually grew into a wonderful pumpkin. We have never been able to grow pumpkins, though, I have tried several times. So, when we picked our prize, Needless to say, we were thrilled. On the scale, it tipped out at 13.2 pounds. Now the decision is what will we do with it? Shall we cook it, carve it, or just use it for decor?
