I hope you’ve been well. Just thought I would send a quick note to inform you that, after a remarkable summer flowering, the pumpkin plants I adopted from you are beginning to bear pumpkins. I know. Unbelievable, isn’t it?

They’re not yet ripe for picking, but they do seem to be growing well in spite of the beetles, who seem quite taken with their leaves. I failed to ever ask whether they were ordinary pumpkins, or a magical variety, so – do you know how big they are likely to get?

(Having witnessed your family’s garden, I suspect a few pumpkins are no miracle in your eyes – and I imagine you’ve had a busy summer season of flowers, so entirely understand if you haven’t the time – but if you ever have a moment and happen to be wandering by, please know that you are very welcome to stop in and marvel at my – or rather, your – pumpkin success.)

Either way, thank you for your expert instruction. I may even try being more adventurous with my garden after this and attempt to grow something more exotic.
