Found another pumpkin seedling growing in my window box- I will try and transplant that one, too. Then, I will have two pumpkin plants!

It's official I'm sidelined, my last Atlantic giant withered and croaked. It never did get bigger than a sprout, not sure why. Here's wishing all the contestants better luck than I had.
