I spotted these.
Designer pumpkins.
I adore decorating for Fall. Last year I came across these lovely grown pumpkins and was appalled at how much they wanted for them. I selected a few to buy and I remember thinking to myself then that I should look into growing these next year.
I had totally forgot about that thought until now. So I grabbed them, a starter seed growing kit and planted away.
They are growing very well, basking in the sun on my window sill. In fact they have taken off faster than I anticipated. I have already re-potted them and have a mini-greenhouse for them right now. In another month, out they will go in my yard!

I love decorating for all also. Be sure to plant them away from other squash plants so they don't cross pollinate. I can't wait to see your fall blog entries.
My mother in law grows scads of these every year. Crazy ones with wings and warts and streaking. She finds the seeds in catalogs and grows them on fencing in a trellis. Some of them she uses in her annual "pumpkin fest" near Halloween as balls for baseball. Fun!
