RE: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #515


I am so excited reading about all of you! This year we had terrible flooding
and my patch is still very underwater. I was hesitant about starting my
seeds and not being able to plant them. I think we will be ok now, but I
don't have much hope for a contender! Still can get some nice entries for
the fair. Good luck to you  all and keep posting about your progress, I love
reading what is happening. What is it about pumpkin sprouting that gets me
all teary eyed with joy! Sniff sniff, LOL :-)  oh yes, I admit it, I am a
pumpkin grower by nature!

Good luck everyone!

This will be my first year of growing giant pumpkins. I feel like I know
what I'm doing after reading everything on pumpkin growing I could find.
I.E. "Pumpkin Nook", "Dill's Atlantic Giant", and "Big Pumpkins.com".
 
I started four seeds in peat pots 7 days ago.

1327.5 Dueck
1081.0 Wentzell
820.9 Biga 
648 Bhaskaran 

I was so nervous that I did something wrong that I gently dug one up today
to see if it was growing. It was, so I pushed it back down into the peat
pot. 
I can't wait until they come up!
