I picked up a copy of the Positive News the other day,

and saw this

If you send 4 first class stamps to:
THe Potimarron Project
Creek Farm
Woodland
Ashburn
Newton Abbot
Devon
TQ13 7JY
they will send you some seeds. In return you are to donate 70% of your crop to a local homeless shelter of soup kitchen and pass on any unused seeds to someone else. I thought it was a rather lovely idea.

Potimarron Project
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Potimarron Project
What a lovely idea! but maybe a bit late for this year. pbf.
Re: Potimarron Project
A tad late for sowing potimarron seed this year though.
I assume their "now is the time to sow ..." refers to when the site was written about April/May
Good idea for next year though as my potimarrons (and presumably everyone else's) produce far more pumkins than we can eat.

Re: Potimarron Project
I've just googles them and apparently you sow them indoors in April/May but have to wait until the soil is warm before you sow them outside so it may not be too late in some places.
