A couple of months ago, we planted a pumpkin seed in a pot, which did fine until I had tried to transplant it to a proper garden plot - my thumb went from green to brown - Mr. Pumpkin plant totally shriveled up and died. So here is our second attempt - Mr. Pumpkin II. A little paranoid at the thought of killing another one, I am letting this one grow a bit larger before I transplant it... but not sure if I let it get too big already (oops)... our quest for an orange homegrown pumpkin continues!

Wish I could send you some of our invasive massive pumpkin plants. We planted white pumpkins this year and they are huge. (I think that they don't like being transplanted though.) xo
I should plant some pumpkins. I planted tomatoes.
Sometimes if you make yor own plantable pot, the moving to a bigger garden spot is easier.
Good luck, we'd like to grow one too but I'm paranoid that my growing skills are more brownish than green. I can hardly wait for halloween this year to carve a pumpkin and light it with the funky green lamp oil I got on vacation. The flame actually burns green and should look creepy cool flickering in a bright orange pumpkin. I hope this one makes the move.
Wow, it is really taking off!!
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get some beautiful pumpkins. :)
Hi Valerie! I just found your blog in the etsy forum. I love your blog and woodburnt creations! Such a neat idea!
Wow.. I love your gardening stories :) I never knew you can "kill" a plant by transplanting them too young. Best of luck to your 2nd attempt.. do keep me posted on the progress.
Hmmm...pumpkins huh? Every Oct I wish I had grown my own. Maybe this year I'll give it a go. Good luck on your home grown pumpkin endeavors!!
looking good!!
pumkins are on our list for next year... also including strawberries and green beans. need to expand my garden!
That looks great. The same thing always happens to me; when I try to transplant a plant into a larger pot, it dies :(
