 Hi All,
 
 My main patch is 40 X 56 or 2,249 sq. ft., two plants with one back up on
 the side. I just finished hand spading another 1200 sq feet on the other
 side of the yard, to which I have added 5 yards of compost for a very
 special 1006 seed. 
 
 This has yet to be tilled as my roto tiller called in sick and I just
 picked it up from the repair shop.
 
 The later location has great sun and terrific wind protection from a
 hedgerow of English Laurels which are about 10 ft. high.
 
 If they live, after all the roots I dug up!
 
 In addition I have been spending the late evenings sprinkling all of our
 town planter boxes with large quantities of Atlantic Giant Pumpkin seeds.
 
 I figure the town planter boxes are very well tended, watered, weeded and
 regularly fertilized, in addition to having great soil, so if all else
 fails I can rely on the local Town Box, as a back up pumpkin resource!
 
 Only problem is how do you keep everybody's dog from whizzing on your
 pumpkin?
