Looking good. When they're ripe enough to "cut the cord," you can hand out cigars in celebration that say, "It's a... zombie!"

I have about 12 pumpkins as I only leave 2 per plant to get good growth. I only put 6 plants in this year because last year wasn't a great year for growing.

They are all intended for zombies..

Very nice patch! I grew my own only once and have been wanting to do it again but at the current time I don't have a good spot to plant any. I know they tend to spread out a lot and I don't have a nice flat area. I'm hoping that changes soon! I hope all of yours ripen nicely, and are a good size and shape!

I have one this year, only problem is I started pruning to early. Not to mention that the raccoon's, squirrels, and everything else is eating it (its also not a good size for much of anything).

Looks great! I'd love to have a patch for big kins but for now I'll stick to little tealight pumpkins.
