Cruisin' along into February...
Atlantic Giant Pumpkin Growers in Western Montana can soon pick up their free seed packets and info flier for the 2005 season.

I encourage everyone that receives the free seeds to enter one of your pumpkins in your local county fair. Our fairs are offering terrific prizes/awards for these giants!!

There will be two outlets for free seeds in the Missoula and Bitterroot Areas-

In Hamilton, pick up seed packets at the Ravalli Co. Fair Grounds Office, M-F, 8-4:30, after March 1st.
Plan to enter one of your pumpkins in the county fair for $50 in prize money!!!

In Missoula, pick up seed packets at Ibey Nusery on Grant Creek Rd, across from the smokejumper center, during regular business hours.

Again this year I will offer seedlings, during public radio station KUFM's Radio Week fund raiser for public radio this spring. These seedlings will be ready to go into your garden around the 1st of June. A great way to support public radio and get a healthy plant ready to take off across your patch!
