Re: My pumpkin seeds got burned
Judy
I'm glad you managed to save some of your seed. It's always exciting to
grow your own and see what you've accomplished. Remember, all of us growers
started out with no experience and all of us made many mistakes. Even the
"heavy hitters" still make mistakes but it's always a learning experience.
That's part of the fun (?) of growing these giants. Most of us end up
saying, "There's always next year."
Good luck with your patch this year and, by the way, the offer of seed is
always there.
