Debubble and wipe rims with clean wash cloth dipped in vinegar.

Well that is wonderful … 1 plant = 4 pumpkins = 16 pints = 16 pies, probably?? 

Thanks for the recipe and directions! 
I might have to find a space in the yard to grow a pumpkin plant, now. 

a simpler life

I love growing pumpkins. I seed save  every year. I share with any one who wants them.
