Here are the 3 pumpkins I grew this year still in various degrees of ripeness on my laundry room floor. I thought it would be fun to grow them for the kids and was hopeful they would be ready by Hallowe'en, but no such luck. Since I have a small urban space, I chose a variety that was fairly compact - but it was only medium in terms of planting to harvest time.
That's OK, the kids still had fun watching them grow, and I didn't plan to use my homegrown organic pumpkins for jack o'lanterns anyway - they're going to be food!! Yum.
Yes! You did good to grow three pumpkins. Maybe they will miraculously turn pretty quick. If not, it is never too late to carve them and eat the seeds:)
