    1. Those three pictured are down on the parking lot. The vine is growing from about six feet up on the heap. We don't know what may be up there, although if there they would be in danger of rolling down and smashing soon.

  4. When I was a little kid... maybe 4 years old... we had a sandbox. Somehow a pumpkin vine got started there... took over the WHOLE place. My siblings and I lost our "playground" for quite a while... I think the cat still visited, though ;-)

  7. You didn't by chance plant some magic pumpkin seeds? I'd keep an eye out for giants just in case.

  8. pumpkins make pretty/wierd faces for Halloween OR pies...Not both. Two different kind. my Grandpa used to take his knife and scar out names into the skin..When ripe it was terrific..

  12. Are there two types of pumpkins or will the green one turn yellow as it matures?

    1. They will all turn orange in time.
      Again, the plant must be from a bird feeder pumpkin seed in the neighborhood; no telling if it is pie worthy.
      The road super hopes they don't disappear before Halloween. He would like them for decoration on Main Street, where he sits every year on Beggars Night and passes out candy "because no kids come to his house," which is up a country road.

  13. My father used to grow pumpkins in his front yard. I didn't care to eat them, though. On the other hand, I love pumpkin pie.

  17. Pumpkins are a favorite vegetable of mine. They are so versatile.

  18. Warning - off on a tangent here - when I saw the word "punkin" it reminded me of my brother's "punkinhead" toy - kind of like a teddy bear but quite ugly ... I still don't know why they'd make a kid's toy look like that ... does anyone else remember those?

  19. You remind me we've just reached that time of year when I regret not growing pumpkins. If you want to see weird, wonderful alien life there's no need to watch scifi on TV - one simply has to look in the garden.
