Well... end of July and I had to pull the big pumpkin... he was only orange on one side but looked like it was getting ready to rot.... The yellow one is now turning orange... and I didn't think it would make it! The out of control garden! <grin> The vines go everywhere!

The elephant ears are liking the heat (as long as they get watered!) And the banana's are starting to take off ... but no harvest here... have to keep it green for a year before fruit... Me with a couple of the fruits...

Taking these up north to the crews in Alabaster Caverns and Boiling Springs State Parks! 2 weeks after the previous pictures I had to cut the other pumpkin free... the vines were withering and it didn't have long... My mom sitting on it. The pumpkin weighs 186 pounds! Had to roll it to the patio!! <grin>
