cut and done!

well i cut them off.  she is 62 lbs!! i am happy with that but it makes me want to do better next year.  i am sad to cut her i wanted to get to 100lbs but this is good.  i have now made a plan for next year; cutting trees for more sunlight,  getting the ph balanced, monitoring nitrogen levels so the girls don't get too much.  i will write more later just wanted to get a quick post in and update all y'all!!

close to pickin'

as we draw closer to the day of the dead and halloween, i am almost to tears realizing that my pumpkin season is almost over.  tomorrow i will be cutting all three pumpkins from the plant and letting them mature off the vine so we can get the garden ready for winter.  winter sucks! i will have the final tally of the weight and measurements and will post them soon. we have made a new addition to the family.  she is a beautiful 7.6 pounds of fury.  her name is fiona gertrude sundahl.  we got her from the side of the road from some crackhead south of colorado springs.  beth couldn't let her go to some home that would misuse and abuse her.  my wife kept saying she looks exactly like "my lola." so now our dog jackson and myself are feeling a little bit out numbered, three female pumpkins, two female dogs, sammy my sister (just moved in), and beth my wife.  i am hoping that this is not a trend in my life that i am out numbered.  i am sure i will be left behind enough when beth decides she is ready to be "in the family way" or "P.G" as my grandma would say. when beth decides i will send out a press release so everyone can start stockpiling arms, gamesha save all of you!

more later...
