All right, it's time to get tough, to let the cat out of the bag (my
Baaaabyy), to put the spit on the polish, etc.  I have a site to grow
pumpkins which should be terrific.  It is just putside the door of a barn
where the stables were.  When the stables were cleaned, a pile of composting
manure ensued.  Many years have passed.  I have  a whole pasture to plant in.

I have some seeds from Jack LaRue and from Rick Noffke (the late Alice
contributed) and I can use more.  I can fill this pasture.

My first problem is how do I know the parentage of whatever I am growing?  If
a bumblebee gets to the flowers before I do, how would I know?  Or do I just
acknowl;edge the mom and say the daddy was a travelin' man?

I have to plan this now and through the winter because I have to landscape
another site in spring.

Thanks for your help.  I have already got a lot of info from this group.  I
guess my question is redundant, but I envision a tangle of twining vines out
there!
