Lazy Mom's Guide to Growing Pumpkins
Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:04PM 
1) Have
Pumpkin Carving Party in November.
2) Place
2 pumpkins by front door after being too lazy to carve them.
3) Allow
to rot.
4) Notice
rotted pumpkins in pile of mush with seeds on ground in January.
5) Giggle
in the spring when you see seeds still on ground after the snow melts. Think to self Self, there's no chance that pumpkins will actually grow there, right? Naaaahhh...
6) Marvel
at the green plants starting to sprout in same area.
7) Count
the bright orange flowers, supposedly one flower = one pumpkin...there are at least 6!
I am amazed that there are actually pumpkins growing by my
front steps…who’da thunk it?! My
laziness actually paid off. I might not
have to purchase pumpkins for the party this year, yahoo!
For the record, I have an amazingly BLACK thumb. I can't grow anything. I kill plants within a week whenever anyone tries to put one in my house. It is absolutely hysterical that these pumpkins are growing on their own. I smile whenever I go through my front door lately.

I think that Squarespace has done some random upgrades...I'm having a really, really hard time with spacing and formatting in this post. I apologize if things look a bit funky.

It might not be Charlie Brown's pumpkin patch, but it will do.....
So that means my lawn has hope? Because lord knows, there's a TON of dead grass on it right now. Maybe it'll spout some new grass in a few months. hell, even some pumpkins would look better on it now. (I am going bonkers over the Squarespace upgrade!! it is annoying the hell out of me).
