This is what I have created on my own. A greenhouse for one or two plants. We have been having a long winter, but now the spring is showing. May 25 I will turn eighteen. Hopefully I will grow a giant, with a bit of luck. Tuesday, July 16 View Page This is my 1679.9 Tanner 2012 plant. Tuesday, July 16 View Page The seed was sown later than usual, so the first pumpkin on plant bloomed the July 1. Tuesday, July 16 View Page The main is terminated just past the stem. Tuesday, July 16 View Page At 17ft. Self pollination. Saturday, July 20 View Page I am lucky to get a successful pollination with the first one that opened on plant.

(Pumpkin roots from last year at picture) Tuesday, July 30 View Page Today 20 Days old and approximately 50kg. Monday, August 5 View Page 25 days old and the estimated weight is between 90-100kg today. Looks like the blossom end might disappear soon. Saturday, August 10 View Page Lets say goodbye to the blossom! 30days and 250" OTT. About 150-160kg. Previous years, it rotted away this time of year. Therefore, I put it above the soil at a higher level from the start. Alot easier than to do it now. Tuesday, August 20 View Page It have been very rainy days and cold nights the past weeks. It is said that it will get better, I have recently checked in my notes and found that I planted the seed in pot on May 1. 40 days old and about 300kg today.
