I am new to this site. The picture I have is a memorial to my Wife who passed away from breast cancer May 7. I started growing giants last year and she loved watching them grow. I didn't have a lot of success but I am hoping this year I will.

Do not have any names for my pumpkins as when I started last year I ordered them on line. I used seeds from the pumpkins they produced last year. I had a late start but the plants are in great shape compared to last year. I have a few small ones started and have yet to pick which ones will be the keepers.

This one is from a plant that started on its own from my compost pile. Could be interesting.

This is from an extra plant I grew in some sod. The main grew up through some thick branches and the pumpkin is suspended about 5 feet up. I figure as it grows it should make its way to the ground.

This one is starting to take off. There are not many females on my plants this year. The plants are very healthy but not much to choose from.

Terrible day today. Well trying to slip a piece of Styrofoam under my kin I tore the stem. Not a good day. Here it is lying next to my wife's memorial flower garden.

This is the enemy ,the brown snail. This guy is as tough as they come and it is a war that is fought daily with no clear winners. I use snail bait but they seem to still be able to get to the flowers and vines.
