The Garden

One of our favorite things to do since we got married was to have a garden.  We love to grow pumpkins.  In fact, the first year we did a garden we grew a 75 lb. pumpkin.  This year we didn't get a 75 pounder, but we did grow 19 pumpkins.  For family home evening we picked them all.

So jealous! I tried growing pumpkins last year and only got a couple small ones. You must have a secret, like an actual garden to grow them in instead of the edge of your lot like me. : )
Looks like everyone had a fun time picking pumpkins.

No pumpkins for us this year--bummer! All we planted was Roma tomatoes and we have plenty of those!
