Is it possible that perhaps he gave you a plant that may have been cross pollinated with something else so that you end up with a squash looking pumpkin?

I loved the story, haha...I wouldn't have a clue what it was...lucky for you you now have pumpkins for Halloween! Have you ever thought of printing your photos into a photo book, your photos are exquisite and worthy of any coffee table. Have you heard of Printicapp its an APP where you can print your IG photos and your camera photos into books, they are based in Holland I believe and it comes all boxed up in a pretty orange box. Earlier this year I printed a small book with them and was pleasantly surprised at the quality. Have a lovely week dear Madelief!
