No bumper crop! Bummer!


I was so excited about growing my own pumpkins this year! I was so excited that I think I promised one to everyone I know!!! Sadly, my 4 pumpkin plants (that grew like crazy!) only sprouted 4 actual pumpkins. 1 of which died :( The vine it was on was very thin and got broken somehow??)

This is a photo of the largest one of the three that are left.
I am keeping 2 and giving 1 to Em at Bunch of Scrap. She is the kind crafter who made my bike basket liner. I swapped some crafts with her and promised a pumpkin in trade for her sewing skills. My apologies to everyone else I promised a pumpkin to! Next year I guess I will have to do more research on how to grow a "Bumper Crop".
I guess 3 isn't bad for my first ever growing something experiment. :) ?????
Hoping to get some crafting time in tomorrow, so please come back next for another Fall and Halloween post!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
