Meet daisy and petunia, this my first try at giant pumpkins, The seeds are off ebay, supposed to be from a 300 pounder. I started them on April 13 the wet paper towel on a plate on top of a dark refrigerator these two sprouted on 15. I put them in dirt and on the 17th the first one sprouted 4 hours later the other one came out. Daisy was the first one up and has a stockier stem. Petunia came out and tried to make up for the 4 hours and is a little leggy. It was a beautiful day and in the mid 60s so they have been in full sun every day, but I bring them in when it cools off in the evening. Yesterday I took the backhoe and dug two holes in the garden and filled them with some good compost. I still want to till in some manure and fertilizer. Like I said it is my first year and my seed stock could be from a jack-o lantern but I will still have fun doing it. If these don’t get very big, next year I will probably be looking for seeds.
