I recently went to one of our annual neighborhood plant exchanges hosted by Hadley. The two rhubarb plants that I brought were gone before I even had a chance to set them down. I'm sure they will be happy in their new homes waiting to become rhubarb pie come summer.
On the email list that Hadley sent out prior to the event, I saw that he had some Giant pumpkin starts to give out. I've been wanting to try my hands at one of these for years now but I always seem to get caught up in my other gardening projects. I even owned the Giant pumpkin book even while living in a San Francisco studio apartment with only three small container boxes!
By time I arrived at the exchange, the giant pumpkins were gone. Well at least the labeled ones. I did find some with just "pumpkin" on the label which means they could be anything. Maybe this mystery is even better than coming home with my intended score. I always love when unknown seedlings come out from my compost pile. I had some great butternut squash that way a few seasons ago. Well, come fall it's anybodies guess what kind of beautiful pumpkin will arrive.
