A nice fellow was driving by on his bike the other day while I was watering, and he stopped and chatted for a bit. He was a gardener too, and he didn't even know it was possible to grow pumkins in Phoenix!
Sugar Baby
That was my first sugar baby, matured in late Sept, from a mid June planting.

The pics are a couple weeks old, showing them maturing nicely but still green. Most of them are orange now, and the vines are dying off (I'll try to update pics soon).
The coolest part of growing pumpkins is the beautiful huge orange flowers in morning, which always attract swarms of honey bees.

Your sugar baby is fantastic!
