Pumpkin Growers BlogAugust 27, 2008
Jessica is very orange now. Nancy is looking more orange. Amber has a big spot of Orange. Jess and Nancy have been growing for about a month now... I'm not sure if this is the final weight.
A new verifiable pumpkin is in the patch. it is close to Heather, but on a different vine. This one is called, Marcie. Yeah, I know she never appeared in the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin cartoon... but I like the name.
I gave them all more water in the afternoon after the photoshoot. The Leader has his first female flower bud growing outside the fence. This will have to work, because I don't think I can redirect the vine without snapping it. One thing about vine re-directing, it is not that easy to do. The vines are not that strong and they can snap if given too much pressure. If you train the pumpkin vines, you've gotta do it early before they latch on to things.
I see new female buds here and there. I may have to start cutting things back again to focus the growing on the pumpkins that I have.
