Hi Susie~

It wasn't me that told you about the pumpkins. I've never heard that you had to have only three plants to produce gourds. I would think that you should thin them and if you want to plant the others somewhere else, that should be fine. My Daddy used to plant melons and pumpkins in "hills" and he would have three to four plants per hill.

I live on a postage stamp. There is nowhere else. My dogs have given me warning that they would go potty in the house If I made anymore flower beds. I said "Yes sir" to both of them. That's what makes us get along fine.

I just can not stand to kill anything that will grow because I did not inherit the 'green thumb'. I got a "whoops", it must be a miracle. I guess I'll have to roll that wheelbarrow around the neighborhood. When kids come running out thinkin' I'm the ice cream truck, I'll give 'em a plant!!!!!! Thanks Marlene.

I throw grouds over to the cows and they ate em, pooped em in the field and they grow prettier then the first ones...

Leveta I love it! Susie, how bout a hanging pumpkin patch, lol.

The bottle tree is right behind the wheel barrow. I could have punkin gourds growing up the tree. And a few down in that flower bed. I just dont want them all to die.

Leveta- sounds like you've got gardening luck!!!!

Thank ya'll.

Looks like you've developed a green thumb to go along with your painting talents!! Now don't get too carried away with the coffee grounds!!(in the compost) Jan

Hey, do you still have kids come up and leave gifts at the fairy door on your front porch? Maybe you could put some of the pumpkin plants in cups and put up a little sign saying to take one as a gift from the fairies!!

Great ideas!!! Yes the Fairies still get gifts on their porch!!!

CA Jan- You must be kidding about the Folgers! I think the grounds make the plants feel as good as my tanker-cupfull every morning. ; )
