Pumpkins for the garden

I started some pumpkin seed about a week ago by carefully stripping the outer hull away and placing them in a folded sheet of damp paper towel on the top of the refrigerator. They were starting to show the starts of roots within three days so I planted them and now I have little pumpkin plant seedlings in Jiffy Pots here on the end of the dining room table. I am hoping that I will be able to have some nice little 5 or 7 pound small sugar pumpkins from my own garden for Halloween and Thanksgiving this year.
