Re: my 977
Hey Zoo Doo,
did the needles stick into the pumpkin? Did you take a picture? I've got a
really funny picture in my head of your porcupine pumpkin! LOL!! Any other ideas
for mulch? I need something to hold the soil, my new pumpkin patch is sloped & I
really don't want to spend the $$$$ to enclose it with RR ties, landscape timbers
etc.
