I found this meme a few days ago in one of the Halloween pages I follow. Now is the time to grow pumpkins, apparently. I am not so sure I should: last time I did was catastrophic, the slugs ate them all, no matter what I tried to keep them away. It broke my heart, it really did, and crushed my hopes of becoming a half-decent gardener. That said, I love this meme because it reminds me I am not so far away from spooky season. I just need to be patient.
DO IT! And get some good slug killer juice.
ReplyDeleteManagement took away our garden spot so we aren't allowed to grow anything in front of our apartment. I would if I had a spot to do it.
ReplyDeleteI saw that too, but view it as a fun sort of countdown to Halloween!
ReplyDeleteOur frost date is Mid - May. I would not put pumpkins in earlier because they are tender. Slugs are a big problem in the UK aren't they? We don't have them. Our problem is that it is too dry - Pumpkins like a little water and humidity.
