Pumpkin Passion

So the porch worked. Sometimes a little sunlight goes a long way…I was able to get 4 plants to sprout. So 4 out of the 24 planted is not great odds, but I am getting impatient with these little greenhouse trays. In fact I am growing more mold in some of them than I am actually pumpkin plant. Consequently I gave them to Mother Nature and planted them directly in the garden.

When I was planting the baby sprouts, I did go through the other sections in the seed tray and I noticed that several of the seeds had developed roots but had not gotten as far as sprouting leaves. So I shoved those in the ground too. I figure if it was on its way, then hopefully the actual soil, sun and water of being outside will further the process along. We shall see! My baby tiny garden is on its way! If in a few weeks if I have killed everything, I will just resume my regular tradition of buying my pumpkins at the local grocery store in October. I will keep you posted.
