I have been so excited about the garden! This year we are growing pumpkins! I have waited for ever for them to finally come up, put on their blooms, start growing the pumpkins, then for them to ripen and change their color to a beautiful orange.
The day finally came and Tim started harvesting the pumpkins! First he came in with three, then four. The next day was the same thing, finally I asked him where are we going to put these until October and is this the last of them? He slowly shook his head and informed me that according to his research they will continue to produce until about October, that the ones that are ripe we have to store in a dark, dry, cool place.
Hmm.....I think we are going to need a bigger house! All these pumpkins and we only planted 4 vines!! This was just suppose to be a test! Well I guess I will just keep storing them in the spare bedroom and just keep shutting the door. So for now when my husband hands me more pumpkins I just smile. I tell myself that, Just keep smiling!
