Just for Kids

Giant pumpkins, little pumpkins, and some pumpkins blue. Pumpkins perfect for carving and spooking. Some with "warts" - yikes! . . . and jack-o-lanterns too.

BOY AND HIS PUMPKIN

Check out the pumpkin tower we constructed last weekend.

We planted more decorator pumpkins than ever - 34 varieties in all.
We'll try to feature one of these cool cat varieties every couple of weeks. First up, the blue moon pumpkin.

Yoda
is a "Prize Winner" pumpkin. Yes, an actual variety. He beat out all the Atlantic Giants in our patch, the variety that sets world records. Maybe they couldn't handle our hot Nebraska weather???

Congratulations, to this prize winner!
