(We also don't grow award-winning pumpkins, either, lol) They are pretty tough for us. The plants really spread out, don't they? We have to curb their growth or they'd take over the yard. I'll be watching to see what hints other readers have; I'm sure I'll learn something about growing pumpkins.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679461352750009524.post-50191431105184991842011-03-23T19:29:38.504-04:002011-03-23T19:29:38.504-04:00We have problems with the squash borer when we gro...We have problems with the squash borer when we grow pumpkins.
