We did a really fun thing on May 18th. We attend a giant pumpkin seminar in Circleville Ohio. We took this pic of the pumpkin water tower when we drove by.
The seminar was hosted by Cecil Weston and Dr. Bob Liggett. They are giant pumpkin growing experts. They have both grown giant pumpkins... (I mean really illy giant pumpkins).
We watch an exceptionally informative power point presentation and afterwards they allowed time to answer all of our 5 million questions.
We became members of the Circleville Giant Pumpkin Growers Club and we came home with two giant pumpkin plants That they gave to us. They also gave us zip lock bags of stuff to put on the roots.
Thanks to them we may still get to grow a giant pumpkin this year. Yay! I'm soooo excited!
We decided to plant them at the back of the yard and let them grow toward the east (which I guess is the directions that pumpkins like to grow "naturally"). We will be urban pumpkin growers.
We went home and that same day made plans to prepare the soil for planting. We chose a spot away from our vegetable garden. The only place we have is in the grass in the backyard. We will scrape off the grass and do the best we can with what we have to work with. With God's help maybe we will grow a giant pumpkin.
