Posts like this really make me wonder if plants really do have personalities. I do enjoy reading though. I hope you get to grow a really big one!

I just stumbled on your blog while looking for pictures to identify what I thought must be a pumpkin. It is! I thought I'd lost all of them to blight this year.

I see this is from 2007, so am hoping Big Pumpkin came out for you that year. Our kids are watching our Big P - it's going to be a race to see if it ripens before it freezes. We're also rooting for the chickens to take care of the squash borers for us. So far the vine looks really healthy, but also a majority of male flowers and just one fruit.

good luck with harvest. Rene

I haven't grown summer squash in many years. I thought I'd give it a try this year and was quite excited to see my first squashes forming. Then boom. Same thing. The attack of the borers.

Hope your pumpkin survived. I have low hopes for my summer squash.

Cool blog! I like it a lot.
Thanks for helping me identify my mystery plant. I can't want to see how it turns out.

Here's hoping you will have some baby pumpkins soon. Then Big pumpkins.

Wow, you are a very patient person. I can't imagine slicing open a squash and looking for the borers. I'm rooting for a "Great Pumpkin" for you!
