# I planted a pumpkin seed in my backyard, and they have now developed…

I planted a pumpkin seed in my backyard, and they have now developed into this thing. I am hopeful that the pumpkin(s) will mature in time for Halloween.

Context: I am new to gardening and plants in general and have picked this hobby up since moving to Kentucky from Illinois. I have no idea what I’m doing right or wrong. Just the fact that it’s huge!

I believe based on the first grow, You’ll have amazing pumpkins by mid September- early October.

I’m not a pro just going off what I see, great soil , great grass, with daily care and no overwatering. They’ll be the side of the headless horseman.
