After all the fuss and work I put into growing pumpkins, this is what the final result is. I don’t think it’s even enough to decorate a Barbie Dream House. I even had to keep some of the vines on them to fluff them up a bit. My hubby asked me where the rest of the pumpkins are. I told him to leave me alone and left the room to eat a few Junior Mints. Which I found a bit sad, since my pumpkins were junior as well.
