To the veteran Pumpkin Grower,

I'm going to be starting my first pumpkin patch this spring, and I'm
stocking up on all of the general 'how to's' I can get. Any suggetions,
or tricks of the trade would be great. Thanks.

Rob.

I've seen local folks feed their pumpkin's milk. Also pruning down
to less fruit per vine a possibility to consider.

Bill

This came today Enjoy!

4. Exploratorium: Science of Gardening [Macromedia Flash Player, Quick
Time]
http://www.exploratorium.edu/gardening/index.html

"Like all great endeavors gardening is both a science and an art", and
this new feature from the Exploratorium uses video clips, interactives,
photos, and articles to make this point in way that will appeal to
visitors of all ages. For example, the interactive Garden Variety
presents basic facts (vitals), information on seeds, and lore, for
vegetables and fruits such as peas and carrots, corn, strawberries, and
pumpkins. Visitors can also virtually tour a hydroponic greenhouse
located in the arctic, where fancy lettuces and herbs are growing
despite sub-zero temperatures, read a photo
essay about a pumpkin-growing competition in California, and learn how
grafting, hybridizing, and genetic engineering are used to develop new
plants. [DS]
