Pumpkins are heavy feeders too. I do envy you and your long growing season - don't give up...check with your local Agricultural Agent too. My own frustrations are with tomatoes and struggling with early frosts in our Northwoods - making for a very short season all together...such are the challenges we gardeners happily tackle though.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395890193161794631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092242790847663695.post-85690667592987914242010-10-21T11:29:24.959-07:002010-10-21T11:29:24.959-07:00Do you know how much we missed you????

Just terrible.<br /> <br />I'll be honest with you. I grew up with a Grandma who could grow anything outside, but had a hard time with houseplants. I can grow sidebeds with flowers, etc., but can't get a garden to grow for the life of me. I think it's the soil here... so we have a lawn. It's better anyway, for Gracie and Marley.<br /><br />I'm glad you're back.<br /><br />JoeyJoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990251768655459821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092242790847663695.post-25865868243318878802010-10-21T10:21:17.481-07:002010-10-21T10:21:17.481-07:00Cheddar is trying ot get my to complete the papier...Cheddar is trying ot get my to complete the papier mache pumpkins too. guess I better go try and unearth my box of paints!abby jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186069406334168116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092242790847663695.post-29193838817416296222010-10-21T09:44:50.653-07:002010-10-21T09:44:50.653-07:00Beautiful fall pics Kary : )Beautiful fall pics Kary : )Susan (aka Sunny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14493445436835770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092242790847663695.post-12750563461813142432010-10-21T06:38:05.521-07:002010-10-21T06:38:05.521-07:00Hi Kary, I don't for a minute believe that you...Hi Kary, I don't for a minute believe that you will give up gardening.
