At an Undisclosed Location, on the Planet Earth...

At an Undisclosed Location, on the Planet Earth...

Good morning, Pumpkinistas!

I am happy to announce that my giant pumpkin seedlings are in the ground. Because of space limitations, I'll be growing this year in a new location, a location that has never been used for giant pumpkins ever before. My growing partner, Mike M., "The Mystery Gardener" has graciously agreed to be part of this season's adventure, providing an outstanding growing area, with plenty of sunshine, a sturdy back, and a very positive outlook!

The seedlings were transplanted yesterday, early evening, about 5:30 p.m., and everything went well.

The hot weather will be a challenge, but we wanted the seedlings in the ground for tonight's full moon!








Good morning, Pumpkinistas!

The seedlings that were transplanted May 13th, have been growing nicely. It's been a month since these weeds were germinated. There have been no unprovoked insect or animal attacks yet, and they even managed to survive the record-setting heat of late May. Other than some rather light green leaves, I have no issues.
