Great looking pumpkins Double D!
I can't wait to see how they all turn out.

I think I read some where that these melons sell for what amounts to 300.00 American dollars.

Thanks D.duck,LolaGal,and homebrew.
There is a lot to learn to grow a really big one,homebrew.Its fun to learn.,good luck with your pumpkin/s.

Your pumpkins are looking good D.Duck.
Is your season over in August?

Well,my biggest pumpkin stopped growing at about 80lbs.I don't know why,I had this happen last year too.I still think I have some thing messed up in the soil.
Next year I'm gonna use all new patch/piece of land.and also I'm gonna have the soil tested to make sure everything is balanced out.
Got a pic of the one that stopped growing already.This pumpkin should be putting on 20lbs+ a day,it should be over 400lbs by now.

And heres a pic of a pumpkin just starting out.If I can keep it alive and growing well,I just might beat my old record of 504lbs.
My season ends the first week in Octobor,so just maybe...

and the plant its on:

looks like I oughta get some weeds pulled.

I have me a pumpkin patch, its a 12x6ft gardern packed with jalepenos and Green peppers along with corn and sunflowers.....I had no idea how big the pumpkin vines would grow.....Now I want to grow a big one....Along with all my other gardening adventures I will need to do some research, but atleast whatever I get will bring some joy to some younger children....I really enjoy this section of the website.
GROW ON!
Andy
