How cute are these?!?! They're Jack Be Little pumpkins. This is about a third of what we got this year. I'm taking them to work to share with people.
YAY! It’s pumpkin time! We have pumpkins big and small, cute and strange, all ready to go.
So far I have given a basket of Jack Be Littles to a local restaurant for decorations and donated a carload of Knucklehead, Magic Lantern, Cinderella and Full Moons to the town plaza decorating project. I have about 20 more pumpkins in the patch, and now comes the task of deciding which ones to keep and carve myself and which ones to give away.
NEXT YEAR I AM PLANTING MORE PUMPKINS! Even with the nasty case of powdery mildew we had, we grew a great crop, and it was fun! And giving them away is the most fun of all.

We have five large Full Moon pumpkins in the garden. I have no idea how much they weigh. Maybe 50 pounds? Rick thinks they're bigger than that.
The Magic Lantern plants were great producers, and the pumpkins they provided are beautiful!

What a nice variety and those Jack Be Little pumpkins are just the cutest things.
Being able to share your harvests is really a fun aspect of gardening.
