Who Needs Linvilla’s Pumpkinland?

Posted By on August 14, 2014

Well, ok, we will come October, but still. Sam has been so excited about our garden, going out almost every day and picking vegetables. It is like it’s her own personal mission to make sure we pick our veggies when they are ripe before the critters in our yard munch them up! A few tomatoes got half eaten (those darn squirrels!) but otherwise, we have had a lot of luck. Sam has been anxiously awaiting the ripening of her pumpkins. Only a few started to grow, but they were looking good. One finally got orange, and I was really afraid that something would happen to it, or the plant, before Sam got to pick it, so we decided to let her have it now, rather than waiting it out as long as we could until fall. Sam couldn’t wait to get out there and pick her first pumpkin, grown in her own backyard!

She tried so hard to pull it off the vine, but I finally helped her before she yanked the whole plant out of the dirt.

And here it is! Our first pumpkin! Congratulations, Farmer Sam, you did a great job!

    I feel badly for the squirrels. They must be very hungry if they are eating your vegetables.

    Those crazy squirrels! We feed them constantly – they just never stop eating! But we do like them. We are always looking out for their little furry behinds.
