By Grant Lewis – Curcurbita Maxima is not the name of a disease, or a new car, or new dance step…but is the botanical name for a Giant Pumpkin. Join the Espanola Gardeners as they welcome Jason Behm of Massey. Jason has been growing giant pumpkins in his backyard in Massey for over 10 years and has many awards to prove it. So mark April 23rd on your calendars and join us at Community Living Espanola. Please use the back entrance off Thornloe at 7:00 p.m. bring your questions with you. My questions will be: are they good to eat? …what to you do with them after? …and how much room do you need?. A very reliable source told me that there will be a visit to Massey in the fall to see a real Curcurbita Maxima!!!!
