Fwd: How many plants and where.

I have found that by covering my vines with soil I can make my pumpkin vine
grow in any direction I want it to. Last year, as an example, I turned my main
vine 1`80 degrees so that it ended up where I wanted it. It didn't happen
overnight but it happened.

For you sprouters: My pop cooler with a bit of water in it and a 50 watt light
bulb is maintaining the temperature at 88 degrees. It is both warm and moist.
I will now do some test seeds next to see if this is for real. Later this
summer I will put pop and ice in the cooler for use as gardening refreshments.

Lubadub, if you don't have FULL SUN you will have to consider that your plants
will grow towards the west ( sunset), they'll follow the sun.
I only have about five to eight hours of sun (too many trees) depending on
what
location the plants are in my garden. My garden is about 80 X 150 and you sure
can bet my pumkins get the PRIME SPOT.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it,
