nachoqtpie, c'mon--break down and get some barn cats!! I only have 2 but I never see mice in the house, and I don't care if I spot a few in the barn.

I caved and started 2 of my giant watermelon seeds. I figure, if the weather holds, I'm golden. If not, I re-start seeds in 4 weeks.sparkles2307 said:

One time when I lived in Montana I set a Tomato out the last day of May. It got frosted on, hurt it, but it survived, barely. After that I trusted the normal plant out date of June 8th and all was well. The year there was a late frost June 23 I was just plum lucky for procrastinating and busy that year.
Now I'm back to California but in some altitude, and know season extension things like a Montanan. I'm waiting for warmer soil. Gives me time to prepare the garden more.

Well... if I had a barn... I might! And... if my dogs wouldn't eat it... I might! LOLducks4you said:
We do have lots of stray cats around.. but it doesn't really seem to help. I guess that since the "strays" are really family pets that are just outside and are used to getting fed regularly (ie fat. lazy cats) that they really aren't helping much! LOL We're going to plant pumpkins in about a week...

Picked up some "Big Max" pumpkin seeds today, they are suppose to be able to reach 100+ pounds. I'll be starting some of them inside soon.

Found pumpkin sprouts in my compost pile for the Halloween pumpkins we had out front. Guess I'm going to try to move the starts over into my corn rows and see how they do! Kinda nice they started for me!

Even if they were hybrid pumpkins you almost always still get great Jack o lanterns! I have seed saved for several generations from a store bought pumpkin. They grow just like Connecticut Fields, but a bit taller.
