Well, it looks like the paci pumpkis are doing well. I wasn't sure if they would grow well of not... Today, I noticed a big yellow blume and several other bulbs ready to bloom. I've never grown pumpkins before, so I am not sure what to expect. I am thinking that each blume will become a pumpkin. If so, we will have several of them to put in the front yard when the season changes to Fall.

Some will wither away, some will become big pumpkins. It's good to thin them out if they're too close together. If you want them to grow really big, after they start turning into pumpkins, cut a small notch in the stem right below the pumpkin, feed a cotton string into it, feed the other end into a bucket, and every day fill the bucket with milk (or water and Miracle Grow.) It will give all the nutrients to the pumpkin itself directly instead of some of them going to the leaves, etc. and make them grow HUGE.
Also, watch out or the pumpkins will take over your yard.
We grew pumpkins every year from the time I was about 4 until I was 9 or so.
