I started but have not completed a page on how teachers might grow
pumpkins seedlings in the window. I hope you are able to let your plant
grow and let me know the outcome. I do not have a suitable window to try
what you are doing.
Perhaps, in a gallon or two gallon pot set in a large pan for water,
it might flower and grow a little pumpkin. When I was a teacher, my
biology students could not wait to get to class to see how their corn
seeds were doing. Sometimes we had an ear of corn grown in the window.
Such were the first ears of corn half the kids had seen grow.
If any one happens to see any seedling mutants: white, yellow, in your
pumpkin seed germinations let me know. Such would be useful to teachers
teaching genetics.
A reading teacher wrote me that she uses such projects because kids
like science and they do not mind writing stories about such science
projects. She tries to do one project per week. That is a lot of writing
practice that most of us did not get in our schools.
