Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

identify pumpkin plant

18 years ago

We have a pumpkin growing in our flower bed that none of us remember planting (maybe someone through a seed in there at Halloween, maybe not). My daughter is terribly excited and would like to know what kind of pumpkin it is. I can't figure out how to post a picture in here to show you the photo...can anyone tell me how to post the photo in the message?

They look like jack-be-little pumpkins. If you aren't familiar with them they get to about the size of the palm of your hand. Probably not much bigger than they are there, but they will turn deeper orange.

You need HTML image tags to post your photos. Just replace angry.gif with the URL of your picture. The URL must end in .jpg of .gif or another image extension. To get the URL you need to right-click on your images and select view image (when using firefox). For example one of your image URLs is:

http://gallery.me.com/lenoreboak/100014/P7240475/web.jpg

Just replace angry.gif in the sample code on the link I gave you with the above URL.

That's a really nice looking photo gallery. I think you are using mobile me, correct? I know it is unrelated, but do you like it? Is it worth the $99 per year?
