My daughters want to be gardeners! We just haven't been able to provide them with a garden. That is, the soil around here is not that great, and we haven't had the money to bring in better soil and make a nice garden. However, that doesn't stop my girls! They plant seeds wherever they can. Last year, they planted pumpkin seeds with their little neighbor in the neighbor's small garden area. The mom thought the girls had just been pretending, as they often do. Until the pumpkin plants came up. This year, we are the ones with the pumpkin plants! One in our poor, neglected flower bed, one by the corner of the house.
Look how tall the one in the flower bed is! Sincerity as far as the eye can see. :) I guess we'll be set for Halloween! Maybe we should just give up on nice, landscaped beds in front of our house and make a garden next year. Bet our neighbors would love that.

It may not be *typical* but a well tended garden is picturesque and beautiful. Make sure there are no regualtions against it if you live in an association, however. On the flip side, a poorly tended garden (like mine this year) is an eyesore.
I love pumpkin soup and pumpkin pies and toasted pumpkin seeds. I hate gutting pumpkins. One of the great dilemmas of life!
I hope you get several to enjoy this fall.
Does this officially qualify as a "patch", or does one need more plants?
Let's just say I'll be out trick or treating with the kids instead of waiting at home for the Great Pumpkin to show up, Scottius. But it's fun to pretend, isn't it? :)
