Throw some pumpkin seeds down in early Spring and what do you get? Awesome pumpkins growing in your own backyard! I swear...on one plant alone I have counted over 20 flowering buds that should produce some kind of pumpkin. Organically grown and so fun to keep an eye on. The vine is a bit spiney but other than that they are sweet! In the sun the flower blooms open up, then they close overnight. Leave a good 6 feet of room for these things to spread for maximum harvest. These are "Spirit Pumpkins" Great for carving at Halloween, pies, bread and other recipes. Or just decorating the outside with paint. Cheap to grow and so much fun to pick! Invite the neighbor kids to come over if you have pumpkins in abundance! You'll be the talk of the block for sure...the "Cool Parents" ;)
