Lucky's Garden and Giant Pumpkins 2013

Lucky's Garden 2013

July 7, 2013

Our Pumpkin Patch is growing. Farmer Steve was busy extending the fence over the weekend. I'm glad the pumpkins like the rain the ground is soggy out there but they seem to like it.

Our first baby named "Little Bigger" is much bigger today. I'm guessing about the size of a baseball. I placed a water bottle next to the fruit for perspective.

June 28 to July 7 changes. Little bigger started out about the size of  Steve's finger nail and now is about as big around as a water bottle. You can see in this photo that the blossom is finished blooming.  I am not sure if the pumpkin was pollinated.  If it was not pollinated the fruit will die and drop off of the vine. That is a very sad thought. 

Here is a pic of the new pumpkin on the end of the vine located 3 feet away from "little-bigger". You can see that the blossom on  the end has not opened yet. I call this pumpkin "Sibbie" because she is a sibling to little-bigger.
