Lilu and Little David in the Patch of Infidels

It must be the start of pumpkin season.  I can tell because the
weather has turned cold and an army of moles has invaded the
patch.  Yesterday I grabbed a beer, a shovel and a chair and
just sat, drank and watched.  In less than ten minutes I saw
the ground in the patch start heaving. 

I gave the infidel a flying lesson by shoveling under him and
heave-ho into the air.  What a glorious flight into the
infinite beyond for the little patch terrorist.

This year I have a plan - Grow a BIG and very Orange pumpkin. 
So in the Yin and Yang patch I invited Lilu (1048 Companion)
and Little David (1230 Daletas) to spread their roots and make
themselves comfy....

Lilu is just perfect - in every respect.  From her immaculate
symmetrical leaves to her perfectly aligned genes she stands
gracefully in the patch - the purest embodiment of divine
pumpkin perfection.  I am in awe at the sight of her - she is a
marvelous sprout and absolutely flawless.....

Little David was slow to germinate, but after six nervous days
in the pot the entire top of the pot started to heave.  I
thought perhaps a huge mushroom was sprouting.  Then Little
David appeared - pushing up huge clods of potting soil ten
times his size.  Quite an entrance...  Now just ten days later
he is a feisty bruiser and bigger than Lilu.  He stands tall
and powerfully in the patch - ready to wrestle the moles for
total dominance....

Best of luck to all this season!!
