Last weekend we had about 28 inches of snow and most of it has melted. This Sunday Herbie planted our 6 pumpkin seeds (inside of course). We decided not to do the hot house effect this year thinking maybe the seeds were getting to wet. Herbie did go out and buy a heat lamp and thermometer so we will be able to monitor the temperature while the champion pumpkins are germinating. Herbie also measured out a 16 x 16 foot area which will be prepped for a raised bed growing area with a lot of good soil brought in. Herbie wants to use railroad ties but of course I want to build a nice decorative rock wall. This morning when I woke up to go to work we had about 2 inches of snow! We were a little concerned about planting the pumpkin seeds this weekend since we are leaving on Thursday for 4 days to go see Corey and watch the K-State Spring game. We thought waiting until next Monday would be too late. I guess we could always take the pots with us.
