I save seed too. My pumpkin seed is second generation from a store bought. Last year I did manage to bring in two nice pie pumpkins from one plant. I hoped I might double my crop by planting three plants. I have two softball sized pumpkins, one is turning orange, which makes them less than on third expected size.

I doubt that the seed will be viable so I’ll have to use the 2014 seed next year. I’m fighting a very short season at 7,600 feet and this spring was miserably cold and wet. Hoping for a better May in 2016.

It surprises me that year-to-year, things can be so very different. Some years I have so many tomatoes I can’t give them away!
Other years, a single tomato seems like a dream...
