Next year I'm going to prepare the bed, and plant the seed in it, or just one seed in a jiffy pot. Either way, I won't be trying to plant several in one...

    Ok, I will definitely try that. The learning curve for gardening is pretty steep lol. I've learned a lot of lessons this year already that I'll institute next season. Thanks for the help.

    pumpkin plants not growing well.

    Hello, At the beginning of spring, my two year old and I planted six pumpkin seeds in a container. I did this with two containers actually, so I planted a total of twelve seeds. (of course I now know that you shouldn't do that). Later on after they began to sprout I built two raised bed...
