Cucurbita for this season...

[joossa]

I'm taking a shot at growing pumpkins, squash, and declarative gourds this season. Most have germinated very rapidly, but the mockingbirds thought it was funny to peck at the cotyledons (hence the wire cages over the little hills for now).

Hopefully, the pumpkins make it at the very least. I want some of my own for Halloween!

These things grow fast! It's the 40th day after germination for almost all of them.
