The Volunteer is a Pumpkin Plant! The Great Pumpkin is Here!

Recently, I posted photos of a mystery plant taking over my flower bed and asked if folks knew whether it was squash, pumpkin or something else, well, the jury is in! I HAVE one orange pumpkin and one green pumpkin out there!

I grabbed my first photos of the pumpkins this weekend as I celebrated the biggest rain during the drought-plagued summer. Oddly, the plant seems to be dying though the pumpkins look very different, they look great too!

    the back parts of the plant will turn yellow as it concentrates on feeding the fruit. Also look under the leaves for squash bugs. They are disastrous for pumpkins!

      Thanks Matt! I was just beginning to wonder if it would have enough power to orange up that second pumpkin but today I noticed it is beginning to lighten up! That’s what I needed to see! 🙂

    Janice,

    LOL!! Your post title made me think of Charlie Brown. I am now not sure if I can look at a mystery plant ever again without remembering this now….. 🙂
