Pumpkin shots

So in a post the other day I was boasting at how large our pumpkins had gotten this year.  Last year we yielded a few good sized ones. We currently have 7 big ones, and 2 young ones still growing. The one in the second picture is about 16 inches in diameter at its widest point. Granted these will not win a farm pumpkin prize but they are winners for us. :)

Very nice! But I don't get it...I planted mine from seed on 5/26 and they are still half green! Maybe your cooler weather is the trigger to change them over faster?

Yeah, I think the cooler temps do trigger the color change. As you can see, mine are almost all orange and the vines have already started to die back. I'll have to store them in the basement until I need them in Oct!
