Jeanette, don't worry about the quality of your pics. We can all make out what they are. Mr Punkin is looking real good. Also better then mine. Mine is dying from being in the hot sun, close to 100 each day, heat. Next year mine will be much better, I have started building the 'Punkin Run. I am also gona add a misting system. That way I can turn on the water when I get up and turn it off before I go to work at 06:00.

Go Girl. But what size are those pants? ::

[jeanette]

the pants are getting bigger everyday. bethany named him.. accually he's sort of bethanys plant.

[jeanette]

i have a different kind of bug on him now.. he's the same size as a cuke beetle and he's a beetle but real light color and no stripes... they do appear to do the damamge the cuke beetle does, but i don't like them...

[jeanette]

well i did it... i snipped off the flowers on MPP... well not all.. it was to hard to do all at once... >:(oh the horror... i saved a couple of the good males to pollenate the girl we selected.. oh my god those flowers STINK, i was walking around surveying the rest of my queendom and i kept smelling this smell wondering what is that horrible smell... finally i had to bring them in and put them in the fridge with water and a baggy over them, i bet they are still gonna stink up my whole fridge, i put them in the beer fridge.

[jeanette]

here's the pumpkin we chose...this was taken last week, he's twice that size now... they grow up so fast...

[douglas]

They do grow fast and I heard somewhere that they can gain up to 24 pounds a day, better get larger pants for him soon

[jeanette]
