Hello 2014 Pumpkin Patch!

The weekend after we got back from Maui, hubby planted the seeds for this year's pumpkin patch. That was just two weeks ago and last weekend the patch looked like this. . .

And now they look like this!

Within just a week, hubby had to thin the crop, which I find so hard to do. I just hate deciding which plants "make the cut." Especially since, in the past, I could never grow anything from seed.

But pumpkins have to be one of the easiest fruits to grow, which makes them so much fun. And I just love watching the plants get bigger as my favorite season gets nearer. I don't hate summer, but I absolutely love fall!
