Growing pumpkins at my place has always been a challenge. Some years I can set out a bunch of plants in the spring and most will survive to produce a excellent crop and I would have a bunch of pumpkins to pass around. This year was not one of those years. Most of the plants that I put out died during the summer, with only one plant surviving to produce fruit. I was able to give a nice pumpkin to my little neighbor girl, and her smile was worth all the effort and frustration.
I hope that I will be able to either find a variety that won't get the blight and die on me, or be able to protect my plants better. This year the variety that I grew this year was "Howden".
