Happy Earth Day 2013

The day was beautiful (even if I had to work)!  My little group planted a few flowers, adding to the Pumpkin Patch.  Oh, but you haven't heard the story about the pumpkin...  Around Halloween time, the little group dug into a large pumpkin.  Seeds and goo were everywhere.  Great fun was had by all.  Wash off the sidewalk, clean hands, and back inside.  Let's fast forward until April, during an outdoor check for lizards, frogs, flowers, or snakes. Yes snakes, it is Florida.  We had a five footer in a tree once.  Well, we find three baby leaves that are different from the grass leaves.  What else could they be, but pumpkins growing from our big pumpkin six months earlier.  We were concerned the mean lawn mover would mow them down, so three little pumpkin plants got dug up and replanted in a pot... and the pumpkin patch was born.
