The Amazing Pumpkin!

This is the Amazing Pumpkin in all it's orange glory! In the spring I planted 6 Pumpkin plants, I watered them all summer long. The plants we're everywhere, taking over. Beautiful green vines with beautiful yellow flowers. I was truly amazed by what I had accomplished. These 6 plants yielded a whole 3 pumpkin! I was disappointed, but at least I had 3. Then in September we got frost and the once beautiful pumpkin patch turned black and one small pumpkin remained. It grew and grew and grew to a whole 6 inches! I brought it inside and it slowly turned orange. And that my friends is the story of The Amazing Pumpkin! Maybe I didn't inherit my Mothers green thumb. I did learn one lesson though, I will never ever, ever grow pumpkins again.
