Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Thanks. It really is a test run this year growing my own stuff. I have tomato, squash (yellow, zucchini) cucumbers, cantaloupe and watermelon. I plan on donating the pumpkins to my children classrooms and schools.
I really want them to learn and to be able to grow their own food.
My daughter started a couple dozen tomato plants as well.
Still green but looking good.

Too cool!! I did a garden with my kids classes on their school grounds a few year ago. The kids loved it and I think the teacher did as well..ha!! She got an hour to herself on Wednesdays....ha!! The feed stores even donated supplies when I told them I would submit pics with the donors listed to the local paper .
Kids love to be able to do things "themselves"....
You have a gift, that is obvious. Great way to share it!!!!

I got over three hundred pumpkins last year in the same space. This year I'm doing Armenian Cucumbers in that spot. Don't have any pictures yet but they are flowering. Anybody try them here? I'm expecting a whole bunch and they get so huge. I should be able to feed a small city.

You know, if you're sick of pumpkins you can harvest the flowers, bread them, and deep fry them as a really tasty fritter. That's my favorite treat! I generally use tigerlilies because I don't have pumpkins.
And dang, my first thought about your picture was if you have any part of your backyard that's not covered in pumpkins! Maybe the photo is misleading, but it doesn't seem like you have a whole lot of space there?

Hmm, actually I have some acreage this area is not my backyard and is pretty big. Oh I see, the one post in the corner in the first post is all that is showing. Each post that has "Last edited by Logician" was lost or removed when the site did a backup. I think it was during a server change. Anyway, there was many pictures in this thread. The two in the first post was the very back corner of the area. It is a side lot we purchased next to us and its about .75 of an acre in this area.
I'm doing pumpkins this year as well just not as many and in another location. Also, squash, many varieties of tomatoes, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries carrots and other varieties of cucumbers.
Also, Avocados, peaches, oranges, tangerines, persimmons, plumes pomegranate, lemons, limes, and passion fruit to harvest at different times in the next five months.
