Meet the Pumpkin Family, Then Have Me Committed

This year we planted pumpkins.  I think it's only the second year we've ever done so, which makes it a novelty.  As you can see, they've taken over.  There just isn't enough room for them.  But they find it.  Moreso than any other thing we've ever grown, each pumpkin seems to be unique.  So, I decided to name them.  Feel free to think I'm crazy.  My family already does. 

This is Big Daddy.  He was hard to photograph because he's deep in the pumpkin morass.  By the end of the season others may pass him up for size, but he was the first one to get really big.  So he gets the big name.

In the front are The Twins.  In the back is Third Wheel.

Orange Momma.  She is the only pumpkin to be showing a twinge of orange so early.  And she's also on the large side.

This is Steady Eddie.  The vine that this pumpkin grew from was about a foot off the ground when this pumpkin appeared.  (This is because some of the pumpkin is growing on the trellis.)   As the pumpkin grew, it landed perfectly on the edge of the raised bed.  That's why he gets the name Steady Eddie.  (There are more pumpkins out there, but not all are large enough to name.  So stay tuned!)
