Fourth of July

While not the biggest plant, it's looking good. Vine and tendril
growth good. I see some flower buds. Definitely behind where I thought
it would be this time of year, though the competition is in the same
boat.

Chris' Contender

I'm checking in on Chris' rabbit this weekend while he is out of town,
the perfect excuse to spy on his pumpkin. It's actually looking really
good. Leaf size is great. Stalk is thick. Even has a little pumpkin on
there. The competition is going to be fierce.

My plant tomorrow, I promise.

My East Coast Competition

I'm just back to portland from my east coast recon mission where I had
quite a lot of time to check out my mom's pumpkin, and also receive a
lot of friendly trash talk.

Yes, she did plant her's three weeks after mine AND it's already
bigger than my plant. I blame the lack of Portland summer weather.
I'll post a photo of my pumpkin today but for now here are two photos
of my mom's taken a few days apart, the image with her was taken
yesterday.
