[monstermash]

What a cute kin. You know theres only one thing for it. CARVE THAT BABY!!

[SuperSonic]

Well I may have to early to get some practice in, considering I can't find any kind of sealent that will do the same job as that projekt paint you showed me

[purple1worm]

Cute little 'kin. Might as well carve it! Do you have any more coming?

[SuperSonic]

I have 4 two are the same size (roughly) the other two are usless one is only 4 1/2 inches! The other is about 3 high by 4 wide

I'm attempting to ripen them (since the vines were cut off by squirrels) By using sunlight. Unsure of whether this will work or not

[purple1worm]

Well if they are too small to carve there are some pretty awesome pumpkin cheesecake, muffin and cookie recipes out there. Give them a try!
The other 2 smaller carvable ones just do simple patterns like the oogie boogies!

Uprooted my plant about a week ago, sadly no bees were around to pollinate the last possible kin for it to grow. Will post pics later, since I had a vine reaching 30+ft long

...or with the smaller 'kins, you could always team them together to carve a letter on each? I thought about this while my 'kins were still kinda tiny and weren't sure if they were growing to grow much larger.

(With a much better script than Verdana, of course)


So how long do your 'kins generally survive once they're off the vine, provided they have a healthy stem?

[SuperSonic]

I'm not 100% sure, but I will hazard a guess at around 3-4 weeks. The kin AND the stem must be long and healthy though.

They're both looking rather healthy, so this is good news... thanks for the advice.
