This site is for all the people that enjoy gardening, fall festivals and related topics.
I've been gardening a couple of years. I helped my parents as a kid. My wife got me back into it. I grew pumpkins for the first time last year and loved it.
I hope you enjoy the site.

I grow a garden with my kids (9-yo twins) every year. About 4 years ago we went to a pumpkin fest to get our Halloween pumpkins, rides, corn maze, and of course pumpkins. My then-5-yo gardeners immediately said, "We need to grow our own!" The next year we grew Baby Bear and Kahki pumpkins (we LOVE pepitas/pumpkin seeds). Last year our pumpkins failed (darned gophers ate the roots!), but we are trying again this year. We're already down to one Triple Treat (gophers and deer), but we have three Kahki still going. It's late, but I went ahead and stuck some more TT seeds in the hill to see if we can get a couple more plants (and pumpkins!) before first frost. And of course we have zucchini and yellow squash, too, along with lots of tomatoes and beans and the usual garden fare.
In case anyone notices a trend with our pumpkin picks, yes, we lean towards the naked and semi-naked seeds. As I said, we LOVE our pepitas! I haven't found a white pumpkin with naked seeds yet, so I may just have to breed my own! ;-) Oh, yes, and pie pumpkins. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin pie ice cream, curried pumpkin soup, yummy!
