I have a mystery plant growing in one of our front beds. It's either a pumpkin or a squash of some kind. Lots of flowers and I just saw the first sign of a fruit today. I guess I'll find out what it is soon. There was nothing planted anywhere near that spot, so a squirrel must have planted it for us.

My baby is fully orange now, but not much bigger. And she has maybe three little siblings. Any hints on how to fatten my girl up?

Huh, I didn't realize so many here tried to plant pumpkins. I decided this year I would try to plant them as well. I started 5 seeds a little later than I wanted in a little planter cup along with 5 seeds from acorn squash. I got 3 plants out of the mix, 2 in one and 1 in the other but I don't know which is which. I transfered them to a garden bed not expecting much as we hadn't tilled it or anything. Apparently it was designed for this kind of plant. They took off and became massive, stretching out leaves 20 feet by 10 feet. So far I have gotten 3 full acorn squash, twice as big as a store one, and there are several more there with it. And I have a pumpkin, that is about the size of a volleyball right now. Many more little guys started too. I will have to get a picture up of the pumpkin but right now I have one of the acorn squash.

I'm bummed cuz it loks like they are going to mature at the end of September.

So we have several pumpkins going now. I have 1 that is carving sized but still green and 2 that are trying their best to grow but something is hungry. It is slowly eating them alive. I will find it and kill it

Put some chicken wire around your babies, Spider. We've had to do that when growing pumpkins in a yard visited by rabbits and groundhogs.
