Re: The rookie is planted

Mark!

A fellow planter nearby.......I live next door in Livermore, California. If 
you are interested, send me your email address and we can compare notes as 
the season progresses.

I've been planting for years, but I grow strictly for the local contest at 
Alden Lane that uses only the Big Max variety.

I planted a set directly last week and just planted my other plot directly 
last night. The first came set up beautifully and I expect the new lot will 
do the same.

My email is: rstear@mipos2.intel.com

rookie planter has buried his seeds.  I wish I could say that the seeds 
are Giants but alas they are Howard Dill "Jumpin Jacks".  Giants are 
what I originally planned but due to various reasons I thought growing 
several pumpkins instead trying for one or to two big ones in my little 
spot would be more suited to me.  Anyway the temp here in No. Cal was 
high 70s yesterday and they are predicting 85+ for this weekend.  Those 
temps made me think that now is a good time to direct plant them.  I 
planted 17 seeds yesterday and I will thin to two plants as they emerge 
and show there strength.
      Does anyone out there have good knowledge of the "Jumpin Jack"?
I would like to know about plant size, How many pumpkins can grow well 
per vine,  is it disease resistant.  Any info would be appreciated.
   Take care and happy planting
