Knee High by the Fourth of July?

Pumpkins in July

I know, knee-high by the fourth of July refers to corn, but our family aims high with our pumpkins! I don’t know about “knee-high”, but our pumpkin is looking good! In Family Pumpkin Throw-down: Wisconsin vs. Colorado I wrote about our family pumpkin-growing contest.  In early June, my mom flew out to visit my brother and reported their “pumpkin” was barely more than a sprout. Now my brother claims his camera lens is scratched so he can’t send a photo of how his pumpkin is growing. Likely story! He either has a puny seedling and he’s embarrassed to share a photo or he’s injected his pumpkin with steroids and it’s so enormous there’s no fair explanation for it. You gotta love sibling rivalry…even as adults!

  1. That’s a fun, friendly competition to indulge in! Yes, you should totally call him out on his pumpkin..he needs to admit that he’s defeated this time! 😀
