So I have had a hard time with pumpkins this year. Of course 2 pumpkins started and they were both chewed by mice/whatever rodent .

I planted 3 Varieties; Casper (white pumpkins), Sugar (tiny, cute pumpkins) and Big Max (GIANT pumpkins). All the big max pumpkins died before producing an actual pumpkin, but now I have (a different) 2. One is a casper (which is still growing) and the other is a sugar. The sugar looks a little odd since it's my first year growing pumpkins, but I was able to pick it.

You know a pumpkin is ready to pick when the stem is dead.

Just picked my 3 birdhouse gourds today. Watching them grown was the fun part. The less fun part is the fact that I will have to wait like 4 months until they are properly dry and I can use them as birdhouses

I finally pulled up all my tomatoes in my garden. Phew.

Carved a Pumpkin tonight Trying to save the seeds to plant next year. The pumpkin I got the seeds from is from a local farm, so I don't think they have pesticides.
