SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

 

Or at least -- it is trying to be spring.  

It is spring enough that I have started my gardening -- both indoors and out.  

I planted lettuce and spinach; peas, parsley, and basil.  

But today? Today I want to plant a pumpkin seed after reading 

Let it Grow by Mary Ann Fraser; illustrated by Riley Samels 

 

 

This is not your every day pumpkin book, friends. 

It takes twists and turns that I promise you will not anticipate!  

First, it gives sound advice on planting that pumpkin seed. 

And when it sprouts, do you eat the leaves in a salad? 

"Oh no! I'll let it grow!" and grow and grow. 

The book walks you through all the stages of pumpkin growth in a fun way. 

And you just know -- it's going to be carved into a pumpkin! 

Nope.  

Hmmm. So what will our young pumpkin grower do with his pumpkin?  

You simply must read the story to find out! 

And then I promise -- you will want to plant a pumpkin!  

Be sure to read the notes at the end of the book 

and also the amazing pumpkin facts!  

Did you know that a pumpkin can gain twenty to forty pounds a day?! 

I'm glad I'm not a pumpkin!
