Hi guys
It's been a very very long time.
I believe 2007 is when I last had an Atlantic giant growing.
All of the seeds that I have are very old. I wanted to at least try and grow a pumpkin this year.
We moved to Oregon last year about this time, this year we are starting a new garden and I decided to try a few seeds and see if they will start .
Number one , 11 86.4 Whittier 2002 .
Number two , 1157 Wernher 03 .
Number three , 1247 handy 03,

And I'm going to start or try to, one squash a 777 Troy 03
Going to start my diary sometime this week and keep track of what's happening if for no other reason than my own personal gratification.

Hoping to find and meet new friends again as I have in the past,
H-K-J

HKJ, email me with your address, and I will get you some seeds. I will be having my 1st year back at about 80% of full strength as I build a new patch. We did okay growing on top of the grass last year so cant wait to actually be in the soil not on it...lol

Welcome back to the game...

My email address is pumpkinguru@gmail.com

This spring seminar should be a good one. See BS's entry above for when and where. I think there has been some subtle changes in growing technique so I am going armed with questions.
