First pumpkin in the patch!

There are lots of male blooms in the pumpkin patch, but this was the first fruit. It is a Cheese Pumpkin. I've been fighting vine borers, stink bugs, squash bugs, green loopy worms, weeds and the extreme temperatures and lack of rain to try to baby these pumpkin plants as much as possible. If I can only get them through to the mid of September, I'll feel like we made it.
