My wife and I grew pumpkins for the first time… now what?

First time pumpkin growers here! Just wanted to share our mini harvest and see what the community thinks. Any tips or ideas for next season?

I’m sending this to a bunch of friends with zero context.

Sending unsolicited Halloween vibes to everyone I know!

The woman looks proud of the pumpkin haul, but the guy’s got a ‘secret society’ look… like he’s hiding something serious in that beard.

Confirmed… the beard holds many secrets.

@Cedar
Those secrets must be the key to successful pumpkins! Would totally trust him if he wore a cape and wizard hat.

What a cutie!

This is the vibe! My birthday’s Halloween, and I’m super jealous of your yard space for pumpkin growing! I miss living out in the countryside and supporting local produce instead of big stores.

Glad you caught this post! We live in a tiny village, so it’s quiet with lots of room for gardening. City life isn’t for us! Happy early Halloween :jack_o_lantern:

Do you save any of your harvest?

We keep the best seeds for next year and let the critters eat the rest. We also plan on adding more varieties from a local pumpkin patch next season!

@Cedar
I love it! Reminds me of growing up with a backyard veggie garden. If you ever try canning, let me know! We used to make homemade sauces and pickles. It’s great seeing land used for growing instead of just grass!

Pumpkins: ‘He’s ours now.’

I love the tiny pumpkin on the big one! Looks like it’s attached haha.

@Cedar
Definitely a cutie. And that shirt is awesome!

Thanks! It’s merch from Jim Harold’s Campfire, a spooky podcast I love.

@Cedar
Get a phone stand and frame this moment… it’s too cute not to!

Are you trying to look humble… or like a Halloween villain? :joy:
