Backstory: We got a pumpkin seed from story time at the library last spring
(around March).  The girls and I put it in a baggie with a moist paper
towel and let it bud in a sunny window for a few days.  Then, we went
out and planted it behind our A/C unit where there was no grass.  The
vines have been growing and growing ever since.  Much to our dismay,
there were no pumpkins.  So as not to disappoint the girls, Mike and I
bought a dinky little pumpkin and hid it out there for them to
find.  They were so excited!

But that’s just where the excitement begins!  So, Mike and I worked in
the flower beds last weekend with Rara and decided it was time to weed-eat down the vines in our side yard and tell them goodbye.  During the chopping process, Mike found this!!!  An enormous pumpkin that WE GREW!  YAY for city girls!
