Picking Pumpkins from a Pumpkin Patch
adam September 30th, 2009
Three! Three pumpkins. I’ve picked three pumpkins from my pumpkin patch. And there won’t be anymore. Pretty pathetic. I had planted two varieties - a traditional Jack-’o-lantern and one that is supposed to have delicious seeds. Not one Jack-’o-lantern grew. I harvested three of the kakai variety, which are listed as producing two or three fruits per plant. I was growing nine plants. I haven’t tried roasting those seeds yet, but at one pumpkin per three plants, they are going to be the most valuable seeds in the history of gardening.
