It'll be a few months, but I'll definitely post pictures.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Do the pumpkins not get too heavy and fall off or break parts of the vine/tree?

That's the amazing thing- we were expecting the pumpkins to fall off eventually but they didn't. The stems were very strong and we had to cut the pumpkins off to harvest them.
