So much fun!
This was my first year growing these. I was surprised at the size. When they say 10-15lbs they really mean 10-15lbs! Some of my seeds had gotten mixed up in the spring rush for planting and these pumpkins ended up on a trellis. As they started growing I worried if they would snap off from their vines but surprisingly I never had a problem. I just love the "eye" but was a bit disappointed at how few developed. My soil is pretty poor, which could be the reason for the lack of "eyes." I will grow these again as they are very attractive as a fall decoration. I will soon make my first pie out of them and I am eager to find out how they taste. Fingers crossed!
