Hi kids.
What's new? I'm glad to be writing to you again. I've missed it. Well, here we go...
So, I planted the seeds yesterday! Friday night, I soaked them in .1X MS, which is a plant cell growth medium, named for Murashige and Skoog, its developers. Before soaking, I filed the edges of the seeds. Basically, the point of all that was to get the seed fully hydrated before planting, and to get as much nutrition into it as possible. After that, I put the seeds into well-watered Fafard 4m soil mix, on the advice of my colleagues at the Danforth Center. They're now in a warm, moist room in the Danforth Center greenhouses, happily germinating away.
The pumpkin should reach maturity early in October, right around my birthday. This is going to be the greatest birthday present ever. I'm tired. I'll write more soon.

I'm glad you are glad to be writing. We wouldn't be here otherwise.
What strikes me is nothing sounds more like ridiculously humongous pumpkin than ".1X MS, which is a plant cell growth medium," or "well-watered Fafard 4m soil mix."
If those pumpkins don't become ridiculous, it would not be your fault.
I'd blame God.
But we're not there yet (God is relieved).
Do you have a watering can? You should post a picture of your ridiculous watering can.
uhhhhhhhhh... awesome.
go little (for now) pumpkin, go!
