Re: Tale From the Dragon's Keep
Vince (Diana),
I always get a kick out of both your comments about your pumpkins. Keep up
the good work.
Update:
Hill#1: 789 Zunino is king, regardless of our schizophrenic weather. It is
2' long, at least 16" leaves, very good color, thick stem, waiting for the
sun God to shine. Lately the winds of Thor are blowing cold, as are the
other quarters, and even though the dogs of doom are howling more this plant
thrives. Whatever doesn't kill them will surely make them stronger.
Hill#2: The 771 Rockwell reins supreme. Up to 20" leaves, a 3' vine that at
2' is growing straight up and slightly to the right. This plant has spunk
and is saving it's magical power for the days of sun soon to be ahead. No
artificial heat is added since these plants are now in "the battle of
Evermore" with the natural forces that exist.
