Seeds are Here!!!!

I received my seed order today in the mail

Which to use???????  I only have room for 1 plant.

 

 

I get asked "How do you grow a giant pumpkin?? all the time.

I tell them I start with a seed from a giant pumpkin. 

Above, the 3 are from this seed pack. The bottom one is from my 375lb one a few years ago.

 

I decided to start  2 from 2 different packs. 

Just in case, rabbits, ect....

 

I put the seeds in peat pots on a heating pad I got at a weigh-off a few years ago.

7-10 days now!

 





Pumpkin Patch 2013

I added two pickup loads of compost to my patch.

I tilled in the compost so the ground is good and loose.

I then added about 20 pounds of epson salt and a bag of vermiculite

 I dug a mound hole and mixed in a wheel barrel of compost and more vermiculite.
