| Growing Notes | Pumpkins need room to grow. They will take up as much space as you give them…and then some! |
| Battle of the Bugs | Squash bugs, cucumber beetles, and squash vine borers are mighty pests. They’ve taken out many of our squash plants! |
| Fun Fact | Apparently, you can scratch a picture or message on a growing pumpkin; it will scar over and then be visible at harvest time. I’m going to try this! |
| Don’t Waste It! | Pumpkins are for more than just carving at Halloween. Bake, roast…treat it like you would any winter squash. Don’t forget to roast the seeds! |
