Pumpkins!!!

Its been a while since I posted a pumpkin update and the only surviving original has grown really big.


Over a month ago it looked like this...



and now its grown this big!



First Male flowers started to appear...



then female flowers....



and finally one tiny pumpkin fruit.

Already there have been a few problems with the plant. I am currently battling what seems to be a fungal infection in one part of the plant and the first fruit was not pollinated so rotted and fell off but fingers crossed I will have at least one pumpkin by Halloween!
