Community Pumpkin Patch

Each year, we grow pumpkins.  I love watching them grow.  Then we let our neighbors come over and cut them off the vines and take them home.  This way they do not have to spend money on the pumpkins.  It is a way to give back to my community.  So far we have about 22 orange flowers, which the flowers turn into pumpkins eventually.  Last year I grew 17 huge pumpkins.  I learn to take care of something and the biology of how things grow.  I also grow mint, watermelons, tomatoes, and cantaloupes.

 

Here is a picture of the orange flowers.

This is the pumpkin vines and some mint growing.
