Note that last letter in the titile. S. We have more then one.
I'm thrilled. I think we have 5, but it might be 7 depending on whose count you go by. I personally saw 5 so those are at least confirmed. I'll count again tommorow to see if I can find the other two my sister thinks are there. I supsect that she was including a couple of the ones with the flower still attached.
Of the 5 confirmed to exist pumpkins, it's looking like they will easily be as big (bigger?) as the larger pumpkins sold for carving for halloween.
The plant suffered a bit of tramua today. We had to move a couch out of the back door. The plant is right beside that door and crosses the steping stones to it. We trimed away some leaves hoping to make it easier to walk over it without dropping the couch on it. It still suffred some crushed leaves anyway, but no vine damage. Another couch and a loveseat (old peices from upstairs) have to be moved in through that door later and hopefully that won't hurt the plant too much either.
As for the cuttings, two are doing well, some are so-so, and the others suffred from neglect and died (I forgot compleately change out the water in a vase that had a lot of cuttings in it, the water went bad, so...).
Speaking of cuttings, some side vines are heading towards the pool (a few inches from being in the pool) and over the evergreen bush again, so I'm pruning tommorow.
Pictures later.
