So it's not exactly tomorrow...

But then again, what is?

Here are some pictures of the pumpkins.

They were taken a few days ago.

Tomorrow is a momentous event that will warrant the taking of pictures and the creation of a new post.

Here is the announcement of that event, followed by some new pictures. The announcement was sent out to everyone here at the center, but if you're reading this, consider yourself invited.

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow, Saturday, May 20, 2006 will be a momentous day in the sport of giant pumpkin growing. Starting at noon, the Danforth Center Humongous Pumpkin Club will be breaking ground on our pumpkin patch. If you, your friends, your neighbors, or your family would like to help weed whack, shovel, till, fertilize, or just stand around and have a cold beverage and a chat while watching horticultural history in the making, then this is the event for you.

We’ll be out behind the loading dock from noon until we’re done. There will be food and cold drink. There will be song and maybe dance. Hopefully, there will be you.

Humongously,

Bert Berla

P.S. If you would like to bring along food, drinks, garden tools, lawn chairs, etc, that would be great as well. Or, if you have a tiller at your disposal, that would be great, too, as it would save us the rental fee from Home Depot.
