 Pumpkins

I tried my first pumpkin in 2005, and I got a few of them growing along with the corn, so it is possible to grow them here. The first variety I've grown was Howden, which I think I grew from old seed saved up from Oregon. This year I tried to grow a Johnny Seeds variety called Snackjack, but I killed the seedlings by leaving them in the rain one day. :(
