The magic of manure.

Blossoms galore are sprouting throughout the pumpkin patch.

Looking more closely, I was very excited to see some becoming pumpkins.

They grow so fast.  In all directions.

This is the patch growing from the heap of cow manure. Clearly these guys are winning the race in leaf size and speed of runner growth.


 
Cow manure patch spread into a circle.  There's a definite difference in growth.  In the back, a sunflower almost as tall as me.  



Definition of Cuteness!
Old hay bale mulch covers the tater patch.  Ummm, I'm looking forward to scalloped potatoes with ham.

A neighboring village in England had a major pumpkin growing contest each year...the winner was usually the pub owner. It was rumored he used the ale at the end of the kegs to feed the pumpkins!
