I actually switched to hand-pollination and managed to get three pumpkins - they look dark green and rounded, just like your pumpkins up there. So where do you get your seeds, Kevin?
Santo - allow your pumpkins to dry on the vine until they are orange. Each will have hundreds of seeds that will easily germinate next year. Bake this pumpkin in the oven. Wonderfully delicious. Grows anywhere - on a roof, compost pile, patio (watch out she rambles!) or in the garden.... Loves sandy soils!
Indeed, Kevin, they are very delicious! My wife and my sister-in-law love them so much. You know, what, Santo? As much as possible, pumpkin seeds should be air dried for a few days and it would be much better if you store them in a cool, dark, dry place until the spring.
