Watching the Pumpkins Grow

It might sound weird but I find pumpkin plants fascinating.  I am enjoying having them a little closer to the house this year. They are right behind the barn instead of down in the field.  I see them each time I go tend the chickens or to the vegetable garden.They burst out of the ground so fast that some of them still held their seed hulls.They grow and grow and then start flowering. They start off looking like little gnomes.The stamens look like cheetos.Then they curl.They are good at making curls.They just keep growing.And they make pumpkins.Keep us in mind in October. We planted 94 hills of pumpkin plants!
