Re: Novice actually gets something!

Tom,

	Glad the seeds germinated!  I was afraid they got lost in the mail.
You have clearly been lurking on the list for a while learning all the
disaster stories of pumpkin rearing... but I will tell you a trick nobody
admits to out loud (it also  *guarantees* a big fruit at the end of the
season).

	Make a sacrifice to the pumpkin god.

	Squirrels are good,  chickens are better, but telemarketers are
best if you can get hold of them.  Just kidding of course, but it occurs to
me I really *do* have a former pet cat buried in the yard, and I'm having
good luck with pumpkins.

	In order not to stay totally in the realm of bad taste, let me turn
this into a question for the list.  Has anyone out there commited a
superstitious act in order to get their pumpkins to grow?
