City Farmers!

This summer we planted some seeds to see what we'd get. So many vines starting growing, 2 of them all over the place and one of them actually bloomed! It was dark green and little so we just knew one of our watermelons had taken. Peyton and I would go out every few days to check on it, as well as our tomato plants. She and Robert were in charge of picking the tomatoes when they were done and looking out for the pesky tomato bugs. Well, in September while her grandparents were here (Hines), Peyton excitedly showed them her watermelon (now dark green and lighter green striped, as many watermelons often are)....Grandma broke the news that that was no watermelon, it was a pumpkin! Peyton was soooo upset (it was almost comical) - how do you tell a 4 year old that something we've been calling and watching grow for months as a watermelon isn't really a watermelon (remember, it's still green, NOT orange) and it's really a pumpkin????!!! Grandpa said we City Farmers don't know anything! Well guess what, we do have an ORANGE pumpkin now! Peyton and Robert picked it last weekend, just in time for Halloween. We are so proud of our watermelon/pumpkin; special having one straight from our city-garden!
