Posted by Laura-Jane - Whimfield in Contests, Outdoors on 25. Apr, 2009 | 41 Comments
As Spring approaches, we’ve started a garden. We will also attempt to grow a giant pumpkin, but I need your help. And maybe you can grow your own pumpkin, too, because I have seeds to give away.

Starting a vegetable garden is yet another part of country living that I know very little about.
