Comments for the Pumpkins in Bloom

Pumpkins in Bloom: 07/05/06

Sean's pumpkins are thriving. Each of the six plants now has had at least one flower bloom. The blossoms don't last very long. One will open around dawn and close by noon. The next day another one will open and be closed by noon. Right now each plant has at least three blossoms in the works. At the rate we're going, we may have more than twenty pumpkins by fall. Perhaps we should open our own pumpkin patch! What are we going to do with that many?

In other gardening news, Sean's fairy garden has lived out its life span but we have purchased new dirt and a package of nasturshum seeds for planting. We had meant to do the replanting this weekend but some how we just didn't get around to it. I think we were enjoying taking it easy.

Attention LiveJournal Users:

LiveJournal seems to be having trouble grabbing images that I include in my feeds. I think this is due to some measures I've had to take to protect bandwidth stealing from MySpace. When you add me (caligula03 on LiveJournal) to your friends list, please email me so I can give you access to the images.
