Completely Clueless

I am a newbie when it comes to vegetable gardening. This is my second year of veggie gardening and I was excited about growing pumpkins for the boys this year. My only problem was I was clueless that if you want pumpkins at Halloween, you need to plant them on Flag Day.

So I have pumpkins already sitting by my front door. In past year, I would have thought you were nuts if you have a pumpkin by your door just after Labor Day. But not this year, we are getting ready to trick or treat early...now if I could just have colder weather so the pumpkins will last, otherwise I will still have to buy pumpkins at Halloween.
