Planting Pumpkins ((a how to))

You may remember our little pumpkin patch from last year. It was so fun watching them grow and it saved us a ton of money when fall came around. We even had enough to share with family and friends. This year I'm hoping to have enough to have a pumpkin pickin' party at our house. Maybe a cookout with friends and every family goes home with a pumpkin. Sounds fun huh?

Honestly, this is so easy. If you have even just a little bit of ground space, then I really encourage you to give it a try!

Step 1: Take a shovel and make mounds of dirt bigger than a basketball but smaller than a hoola-hoop. {I know. That's the best I can do.}Be sure to space them about a shovels length apart.  And yes, this can be done in your Rainbows.{wink}

Step 2: Poke 4 little holes around the top of the mound and put a pumpkin seed in each hole. 

Step 3: Cover each seed with a little dirt and them water them regularly! 

That's it! And after about a week and a half, you will have this...

When they've sprouted, add a little straw to the top of each mound. Be sure to continue to keep them watered and enjoy watching them grow!
