Day 5 and All is Well

Magnolia certainly is short and plump compared to Bessie... not that there is anything wrong with that. I'll be out of town until Saturday so she'll have to carry on without me. That fancy irrigation system out there ought to keep her happy.

A third pumpkin bloomed yesterday, and I didn't even know it was there. This one is on a side vine, so it may be a keeper if it does well. It's definite proof this plant is stronger than last year's plant was!
