Garden Challenge Extreme Evangelist Edition- Well I try… Got mom going on the square foot method, and I was planting pumpkin plants and my neighbor’s kid Andrew and his friend Stephanie where interested so I showed them how to plant the plants. Thinking I might buy him his own plant and let him go to town.
