Persistence is good. I have had zero experience with this, but feel free to ask again as someone else may eventually see it and reply.

I don’t grow pumpkins, so I don’t really have any thoughts, but if you check your state’s extension service, they often have information regarding what’s good for your area.

Thanks for the link.

I order seed mostly from Baker’s Creek (Mo. Company)or bountiful gardens as I am a non-GMO/heirloom seed person.

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are feeling better.

I hope you’ll have time to keep us updated on your adventures on the real farm!

Thank you!

That’s great! The picture was a flash from the past for me. Those are exactly like the tubs that used to be at my great grandma’s house.

Every Monday granny and I would go over to her house and do the laundry with the wringer washer and tubs for rinsing. They were set up on a slab of concrete/enclosed porch at the side of the kitchen.

I am impatiently waiting for the correct time this year, but truly haven’t had much time to do any garden planning anyway.

I need to get going on the seeds. I’ve just been so busy lately. The tomatoes and chives are doing well, but no sign of any ancho poblanos yet. Some of the seeds will be sown directly into the planters, though.
