I want to have a pumpkin patch in my backyard....i have found a commercial one less than 45 minutes from my house so surely with care i can get a few pumpkins. I am limited by space but i did find room for a watermelon plant so CROSSING MY FINGERS. First i bought some seeds several varieties thinking ONE will work and by the way...I LOVE SEEDS...then i did some googling and read so much about growing these GIANT pumpkins which maybe we will try for next year. This year i just want some REGULAR size pumpkins. A few to carve and make some pie and bread with. If we are lucky and have extras we can share with family and friends. I planted the seeds this weekend and so far one of the sugar babies has germinated...Not bad only took 3 days. Once i have some healthy seedlings i will find spots for them in my garden. Here are a couple of pix...the varieties i planted and the containers i put them in and i marked the germinated sugar baby. I am in pursuit of pumpkins...
Hahahahahaaa, Veggie Tales package :D
ReplyDeleteHow are the pumpkins coming? Ours started to grow a couple but the bugs took over, now no pumpkins remain. :-(
