Hope That You All are Well....

                        Way too much going on here at home .... mostly Bad ....
                                              My Sister will be here in a few.....

                                                  Finally got a Pumpkin Patch started....
                                                        Just another day at Home.....

                                        Not much of my Birthday cake remains.....

                                                     An "excavated" Graveyard......

Pumpkin Sprouts Again

only Two have failed to flourish

                          Here are the seedlings a few days later ( prior to planting)

                                          And there are these left-over from Halloween....
 they will be added as needed ... I will finish up the Bedding area for this year's Pumpkin Patch.... a bit later than I woulld have liked.... but, I learned much while growing last year's Crop

Pumpkin Sprouts.....

Well I just finished putting 36 seedlings into dirt....( I wanted potting soil but it is Sunday and our hardware store is closed .... with my health what it is there is no way I could carry a bag of soil across town.... So I had to purchase "planting soil" with all the "chunks" of debris... which made the task not only more difficult but Much Messier.....)

 There are 8 "Pumpkin" from pack of seeds....10 "Big Man" and the others are from last Halloween
I will get them all lined up in a tray in a bit.... and clean up the mess ...I put down paper but there is still a mess to tend to....It was kind of cool ... making sure that the long tap root coiled in the tiny peat pot many with lots of root hairs like tiny spider legs.... and with my bad nerves ...all this "delicate" work was a bit of a challenge.... And there are still the two plants outside that must be dug up and transplanted.... Only ever transplanted ferns before....this task should be interesting....
                                       I will get the bedding soil ready this week....
                           well another attempt at Pumpkin growing.... wish me luck....

Pumpkins 2012

the few on the lower plate came from this pack of seeds..... tho middle one is a breed called "Big Man" and the top plate is some from pumpkin carving

                            well my seeds have sprouted quite well......

                                and two small plants have sprung up beside of driveway.....
                            I will transfer 36 seedlings into small peat pots later this evening.....
                   I guess I will be re-reading my posts from last year on growing tips.... wish me luck....

Pumpkins

Here are the earliest of the images of my pumpkins...My first pumpkin that had to be harvested...( due to severe "vine-rot"" it is of the non-Jack-o-Lartern version packet of seed said "Pumpkin"...this other one is a "Jack-o-Lantern" version...
