Fast Growing Pumpkins!

So by the time I got home yesterday the pumpkin seed had grown about 3 inches! I had to transplant it to a bigger pot! I just hope that I can keep the plant inside for another 3-4 weeks. I am not sure if the rapid growth was to much for the little guy he needs to be propped up or else he falls over. Not sure why he would grow that fast right out of the gate? Here are the pics from last night, again I will post the morning pic vs the night pic. My second pumpkin is a little behind but he is starting to sprout!   My daughter named the first pumpkin "Tinkerbell and my second daughter named the second pumpkin "Cinderella"

Pumpkins are on the Way

I can't believe how much these things grow in a single night! About 4 days ago I planted my pumpkin seeds in my seed starter tray and put the seed heater mat under it. I get up this morning and in 24 hours it has grown about 5 inches. The second plant looks like it is about 2 or 3 days behind and the third seed has not done anything. I really like my seed starter and heating mat, I will post pics and a link to them in an other post.
