...PUMPKIN PILFERER!!!!!
So really, tell me. How can we go from this in July
Remember this post about 3 separate pumpkin balls and all the blossoms.
to THIS??? In October!!
Can you believe this? Only ONE pumpkin!!! An itty bitty baby! Lizzie size :D
Upon closer inspection, I discovered there are actual plants missing. So either it's a pilferer of the human kind (which I really hope not) or we have a bunny, squirrel, or raccoon lurking nearby. I guess I should be thankful they left us one pumpkin that is almost ready to pick. I need to turn it over to face the sun so the green part will go away. Or maybe I should just pick it now before something or someone else does. Hmmmmm, decisions!
So sorry to those of you who had such faith in me to have a bounty to share. This City Girl is still learning. So do you have any ideas of what went wrong here? Should we put up a little fence next time around? What are your thoughts?

Bummer! I was looking forward to a "It's a Great Pumpkin" post. Better luck next year!
I tried a fence. It did not stop the critters. I read up on some tricks but never tried them (human hair, cayenne pepper, etc). I think our problem was squirrels.
I tried growing pumpkins this year too. You did better than me! It was too cold for my plants to grow. I had pretty blossoms but never a pumpkin. Sad!
