Noticed what you see in this photo at the beginning of August in our garden. To me, the leaves look like those of a pumpkin plant which was interesting to me since I don't remember planting any pumpkin seeds last year. While noticing all this our neighbor Steve was walking up the alley. I called him over asking him if he knew what a pumpkin plant looks like. He said he did. He looked at the plant and said that if it wasn't pumpkin it was some other kind of squash. I told him it had to be pumpkin since I had some small pumpkins in the planters that were on this side of the house last fall. The squirrels had eaten the pumpkins and a seed must've dropped over the planter's edge.
Steve said that the actual pumpkin would grow where you see the bud in the above picture. I'm excited! We've got our own little pumpkin patch! Now - how to keep those rascally squirrels away?!
