I've just done a pumpkin headcount and (depending on how many are properly fertilised and continue to grow) it looks like I could end up with a dozen pumpkins this year. That's a lot of pumpkin for a single person. Hopefully they don't get too big.
There are also a lot of fruit on the tomato plants, but I still don't have any ripening.
Great way to make friends with the neighbours, gift a pumpkin!
Dang, my tomato plants are just about done.
I pulled mine out in disgust this year.
Mine went in very late, then they grew really slowly but are now covered with fruit. I'm just not sure I'll get much in the way of ripe tomatoes or if I should just plan for a ton of green tomato pickles.
