RE: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #19

We got some rain here in St. Louis right after I planted. Whew! Just in time.
Nothing like Diana got in Gladstone though.
It's just a bit cool at 55 degrees this morning but is supposed to be 80 by
Friday.

I had germinated mine in rolled paper Cups, kept warm over a heating pad. It
worked great and all 10 seeds have germinated.

I hope I didn't transplant too early because as soon as the cotyledons came
up, I stuck them outside.  I tore parts of my paper pots apart for easier root
penetration even though a few had already started sending roots through the
bottom of the folded pots. They've gotten noticeably bigger but only 3 or 4
have regular leaves sprouting too.  It got cool after the few days of rain we
had. I think the Kansas rain petered out somewhat by the time it made it's way
here so we in St. Louis had only nice mild rain for 2 days.

Now it just needs to warm up so we can COOK some Chlorophyll in the sun!
