Re: when will the female blossom form
I just went out and checked closer to the base of the vine. I believe I see
buds. Whew!
I planted my garden including pumpkin seeds June 15th. I'm in Co. Springs.
Many neighbors started
earlier and are still complaining about all they lost to frost. I am glad I
waited. Eventhough
at the time I thought it was too late. Then I told my self I am just
getting ready for fall gardening
Hope I'll have something for Halloween.I think I am hooked on gardening and
pumpkin growing.
It is unbelievable. I did a raised bed
and two barrels. So easy. Hope I didn't speak too soon
