HI Brett...
Mark here from Boring (Near Sandy/Gresham) this latest good weather has
got me antsy......been hauling mulch/fertilizer to my garden..hope to
get it tilled in this week.....
This is my first year growing.....my 2 year old is excited about it!!!
in your post you stated that planting date was April 19.....is that when
you are starting your plants, or when you move them outside?....also a
basic question...when I plant the seed, which end is up?
Another dumb question.....I have an area of my lawn I am going to give
up to pumpkins.....should I till it up, or just let the vines grow over
it??? I plan on planting the plants in tilled up/fertilized area and let
them spread out over the yard, but now sure I want to till up the extra
if I don't have to?
Weigh off Oct 10..MY BIRTHDAY!! maybe if I am lucky I will see ya there
