The First Pumpkin

I've tried planting pumpkins before and they've never grown into anything. This year, I've got vines all over the place (which are really prickly, by the way) and the leaves are the size of a small umbrella. I had no idea they got that big! There have been lots of flowers, too, which are really pretty when they open up. Now we have our first pumpkin starting to grow and it is growing really quickly! In the last 2 days, it has gone from about the size of my thumb to 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. It will be interesting to see how it develops and how big it actually gets.
