Re: Pumpkin Time?

Since I have the space, I feel that I have a better chance of growing a
BIG one if I have more plants. Some plants I have grown were very
vigorous, but I could not set any pumpkins. Other plants where I have had
only one pumpkin, the pumpkin split. Once I find which plants are really
going to produce, I spend more time with them.
