Tourist attraction in Lorette

Left: My favourite! The picture doesn't do it justice - it's about the size of a baseball.

Middle: The great green hope! This, so far, is my prize pumpkin. It measures about four inches in length.

Right: My husband thought planting the pumpkin seeds (along with sunflower seeds and other assorted plants) in the flower bed in our front yard was a good idea ... they've overtaken the flower bed, the sidewalk leading to our front door and are slowly creeping on to the front yard. It's become a site to see for the locals!

Moving Again

We got tired of all our grandbaby pumpkins dying and decided to let her move into a new space...maybe that will make a difference. My brother posted photos of his pumpkins on facebook -- and let me know that he once grew a 300 lb. pumpkin. I've asked for tips.

Transcona Pumpkin Patch Takes Over the Yard!

Lots of growth in my garden. The flowers are phenomenal and the vines are taking over our deck! My neighbour thought they were cucumber plants and wanted to know what I was using for fertilizer.

I have tried trimming (pruning) and cut off a few babies by accident.

Another contender?

Okay, so my first contender dried up and fell off.

Here's my contender #2 and a big, beautiful blossom taken after last night's two inches of rain.
