Pumpkin growing challenge 2017

Looking well

 

Well the cold and rain we have had last two days will not do the pumpkin any good got a photo of the plant so far needs a big of a weed round it but it's moving well

 

They both look nice and healthy jwk will catch up in no time

 

First pumpkin and a thought the sun looked nice coming through the leafs last night when I was watering

 

Thank you jwk the pumpkin is only growing slowly at the minute but giving regular feed and watering as often as I can
I am really hoping for a 500lb this year trying my best to get to get one for last few years

 

I've given up on the idea of a giant pumpkin this year.. the sickly one is not looking as sick mind and I have a back up gourd plant

 

Stick with it linz once they start growing they can really move some times

 

Thanks people, it seems to have worked.


Now, as before, channel the word "GARGANTUAN":

 

Repeating the same trick for the tub orphan.


About 1.2m from the root base.

 

Thanks JWK.

The tub has a 15L capacity according to the markings on the base.

I've drilled drainage holes, and filled it with a spent multipurpose compost/sharp sand/top soil mix sitting on top of an inch layer of bark chippings.

 

Alright, who was it?

Which malicious, anti-pumpkin person(s) appended a negative word while channelling The Word?

The resulting negative vibe manifested a slime trail and small bite marks at the junction between stalk and fruit.





His name was Yorick.

Alas, ...
