Better 3 than 0! Looking good. It's been a relatively bad year for my pumpkins as well. Got my fingers crossed that 3 (or hopefully 5) make it to Halloween.
Mine decided to bear their fruit in the height of an Arizona Desert Summer when it was topping 116+ degrees, so only one lone White one survived! *LOL* Right now I'm Hoarding Pumpkin Stems so I can Create Vintage Velvet Pumpkins, those don't rot. *Winks* And I'll just have to go to Trader Joe's again this Season for the Real Deal.

When Seeds Are Planted
Intriguing things begin to grow!
On January 6, 2010, Jeanne, over at The Candy Corn Chronicles, began a two day series on the state of our plant and seed industry, and how much peril heirloom and native plant seeds are in of becoming extinct.
Over the next few days, Chris, aka, The Frog Queen, over at Frog On The Pumpkin, Becca of Magikal Seasons fame, and myself shared some of our thoughts and ideas about our gardens and our dreams.
Finding that while we are diverse not only in our climates, and our personal favorites in styles of gardening, we all agree in promoting a healthy green planet.
Taking it a step further, blending in our combined love of all things magickal and spooky into a group blog format, wasn't a stretch at all!
So here we are. Presenting a diverse assortment of botanical topics for your reading pleasure. We hope that you will join in with your comments and questions, sharing new ideas and rediscovering old ones.
Becca, Chris, Jeanne, Sherry & Suzie

Well, you're ahead of me! Thank goodness for pumpkin farms.
