I'll give it a try, thanks!

Share your harvest pictures and tell us how different types are doing! Mortgage Lifter- Big Tomatoes, but they aren't ripe yet Chocolate Stripes- Maybe ripe I'm trying to figure it out: Riesentraube which translates to "giant bunch of grapes"- The 3 to the left: Rose- one little green...

I know they are evil little things that kill squash/gourds/pumpkins, but what are they and what can I do about them?

This is my first year growing them and I'm having a had time telling if they are ripe:

If mine survives I think I'm the winner of the chicken scar category :P

Here are my pumpkins so far (there might be some more small ones), all as far as I know are off the volunteers: and this is the pretty that is growing outside of the fence in the weeds, but we aren't telling the chickens that:

I'm just hoping it doesn't die :fl

I have one pumpkin from my voleenters that is growing outside the fence and is doing very well (half hidden in the weeds), another from the voleenters inside the fence was doing well but a chicken got in the other day and pecked two big holes in it :( . I'll try to get pictures soon.

My mom tried them and says they taste like normal squash/zucchini.

Honestly I don't eat squash ( :hide ) I grow those for my mom who cooked them up and currently has them in the fridge until she reheats them for a meal, but I'll ask if she can tell the difference when she eats them. They were! My only sadness is with the vines death there will be no more Yukon...

My first Pumpkin on this years vines! It's one of the volunteer's:

Okay I talked to my dad today and he said they make fair rose hips and he told me what he use to do to them (which I do remember so he wasn't kidding) every 3rd year or so he mowed the whole patch down to grass level and every time they grew back healthy and beautiful.

Thanks! That one took me a few tries, my camera doesn't like to focus on small stuff.

Pretty! I love the first one!

I'll join in on the fun! I have Rouge Vif D'Etampes, Connecticut Fields, and some volunteers from a pumpkin I threw out. The volunteers:
