New Section: Pumpkin Growing

Posted in Growing | No Comments »


Hello Everyone!

I would like to introduce myself, I am Shannon–the famous “pumpkin passion” hand model and wife of Yvette. I am the new guest blogger on pumpkinpassion.com for the pumpkin growing section.

About a month ago we were at Home Depot when Yvette and I found these cute little plastic “greenhouse” kits with Sesame Street characters on the carton. They were labeled “My First Greenhouse”. We fell in love with them and knew that pumpkin growing needed to be blogged. Consequently, I figured this year I could buckle down and grow my own pumpkin patch. It would save us some money, I could be a rockin’ farmer person and it would be fun to document our progress on the blog.

Let me give you some of my back ground…I am not a farmer. I have never grown anything, possibly a houseplant but nothing to really boast about at backyard barbecues. The most farming/gardening experience I have ever had would be picking raspberries on a ranch up in Oak Glen, CA or being a “digital” farmer on everyone’s favorite networking site. Clearly this is a completely new experience, the choices I will make in this journey will be based off of info I locate on the web, maybe some advice from friends and hopefully a little common sense. So let’s see if we can get some pumpkins to sprout.

It’s time! I made a recent trip to the craft store, Michaels, and found a whole section of paraphernalia, stuff, decorations, thingamajigs, and junk for the fall season. As we all know, the return of the fall season means a return to pumpkins!

I am officially dusting off pumpkinpassion.com and officially welcoming the 2010 Pumpkin Eatin’ Season! Welcome back.
