Not much going on in the patch. I have about 5 leaves on each plant. We have had nothing but cold and rainy weather and I got such a late start I haven't been too enthused about my year. My Grandpa, Clarence, passed away a couple of months ago andwas an avid gardener when he could get around better. I liken my love of pumpkins to him and my Grandma always having one. We are cleaning out his estate and I found this picture of him with some of their giant carrots. Those things must be a foot long...the little note on the back references "my giant size carrots" I have a picture somewhere of my Grandpa and one of my bigger pumpkins. I may have posted it previously, but this will be my nod to how i appreciated my Grandpa. 86 years ain't bad on this earth.
