The Saga Continues...

Perfect pumpkin weather has settled over northern California near the spot where Capt. Drake found a magnificent bay.  Balmy days in the low 80's and mild breezes off the restless Pacific stoke up the plant's little green engines.

My four AG plants are vining now - reaching across the patch in a furious land grab and waving their young leaves happily at the sun.

I've been too busy to update my grower's log until now - most of the heavy digging behind me. The first chapter is done which covers my soil prep and germination techniques.  It can be found at:

Give this page a while to load if you have a slow internet connection - it's worth the wait.

My 789 Zunino, now has a seven foot vine, 20" leaves, a dozen secondaries and is as elegant and majestic as any pumpkin plant you will ever see.  A mythical child of the gods:


789 Zunino at 5 weeks - perfection in motion

I'll be updating my growers log again soon.  I'll show a picture of the crouching tiger (846 Calai),  but beware of the dragon. It can't be seen, but you will soon hear it roar!
