Anybody started yet? Yesterday I tilled my garden and got it ready for planting. I live in south Georgia so risk of frost was gone a month ago. I plan on getting some seeds this week to go along with the seeds I saved from carving last year and plant Saturday. This is my second year attempting to grow with last year not going too well. I had a couple of pumpkins reach the size of baseballs and softballs but ended up turning to mush seemingly overnight. Crossing my fingers this year for at least a couple of good carving pumpkins this year.

It is great to see this thread get started for 2014....it'll be one of the crutches I lean on to get through another miserable Florida summer as I wait for what approximates fall here.

I'm so glad to see sprouts and tiny plants already. :)

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I'm enjoying everyone's updates and photos!

We're moving this year (packing the house right now, as a matter of fact) and didn't plant a patch, so we're living vicariously through yours. ;)

Thanks again, and keep 'em coming!

We harvested the rest of the main patch at our place. Half dozen more pumpkins. About a dozen more minis as well. But, this one really stands out. Volunteer out in the corn, so no idea of variety, though it strongly resembles the ol zebs I used to grow, but really just the perfect pumpkin to me. My preferred shape, deeply ribbed, nice color, and good stem.

That really is just about perfect! :)
