US: Farmer grows pink pumpkins for breast cancer research 

A farmer has found a unique way to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month - by planting pink pumpkins.

Bert Bouwman, planted 15,000 seeds on his farm in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota and has been harvesting the light pink vegetables with his children this weekend.

The vegetable grower will donate 25 cents from every pumpkin sold to breast cancer research, and he said they are already flying off the shelves at local grocers.

About

I started a little NYC company called Garden Up. We make TOWER GARDENS which use a drip-system of nutrient tea and water (not soil) to grow plants. The large unit grows over $1,200 worth of produce in one season, holds 72 plants and takes up less than four square feet of space. It’s all about moving away from supermarket produce and growing your own. Please visit us at www.GardenUpNow.com and let me know what you think. PS: I am a photographer as well so you will see some of my pictures!
