Ira Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I planted 20 or so pumpkins, mini pumpkins and gherkins over the weekend. Monday night frost killed them all. Have to reload my seed tray and try again in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to reload my seed tray and try again in a couple weeks. I did the same but it was the hail storm that killed my seedlings. Where did you get your mini Pumkin seeds from Ira?

Ira Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Where did you get your mini Pumkin seeds from Ira? A mini pumpkin. :slfg: Got it from one of wifey's coworkers. Looks like http://www.gstuff.co.nz sells seeds for them too. http://gstuff.co.nz/shop/garden/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_32&products_id=386&zenid=62731e91ff1c0634b9a4fa19976767df Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Halloween, Ira... You know, that weird celebration where you have the opportunity to truamatise kids who come knocking on your door asking for sweets - or do you let the dog do that?

That holiday where fat little greedy hoodlums wander the streets wearing disguises to avoid identification while harassing good law abiding people and threatening them and their property if they're not paid off? Nope, don't know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumbeginner32 Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ooh I love Halloween. Probably because I love horror movies and it is 2 days after my birthday :happy2: This year I'm planning to have my younger sister to stay the night and we're going to watch scary movies until late and I'm going to put up orange and black balloons and I'm just trying to think of what I'm going to do for my birthday cake ... something with a halloween theme :thup: And I have two of those plastic jack o lanterns that have lights inside them :thup: :happy2: because we don't have orange pumpkins here in NZ ... well, they don't sell them at the supermarket anyway... I guess I could carve a white skinned one as in the dark it doesn't matter what color it is because all you see are it's eyes, nose and mouth. But I've never carved a jack o lantern before... would probably end up cutting myself :lol: :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I used to love Halloween, then I turned 10. I used to go with my friend Gordon, I haven't seen him since primary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumbeginner32 Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Well I'm 32, soon I'll be 33 and I still love it. But not trick or treating. Haven't done that since I was about 11/12yo with my younger sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
