It may be snowing outside but I am still growing pumpkins as part of another winter project. While last winter yielded a little 220.3 pound pumpkin named “Snowball” the results that seeds from that pumpkin went on to produce were simply amazing. This provided proof that my winter growing set-up can produce seeds that can be very competitive which was a relief after all the time and work that goes into such a project.

There are never any guarantees in growing and in the winter the risks are even higher as just one night where the heating system fails can mean the end to the entire project. However, I am going to make another attempt to grow a pumpkin this winter.
