I havent posted in a while and don't recognize some of the new namesbut I can give the results of my own personal experiment. I got seeds from the fine folks on this site and prepared my soil to their specks and I have some very nice pumpkins , I gave seeds to everyone around here who wanted them ,but no gtowing tips and their results were dead plants and small pumkins so far . I know this won't surprise you hard core growers but I thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for the info. I am certain that if it wasn't for this site, I would have no pumpkins right now. When I was a little girl I planted pumpkin seeds, did absolutely nothing all spring or summer, and had approx. 30-40 pumpkins by Halloween (I know we have a pumpkin carving contest with the Y youth group at our house, adn Mom gave one pumpkin to each class at the small elementary school in town.

I am on this site every day since I found it (even during my lunch break at work, if I didn't come home to mist because of the heat), learning something new, and still scared that something will happen to my pumpkins before they are mature....Karen

You need to come over to my house and take a look at Crazy.
