Got my new pumpkin planted that pete (pumpkin-eater) gave me. Picked up about 100lbs of composted cow manure and mixed it with black earth giving her a nice 4x5x3 bed. Gave her a drink of 20/20/20 and she's all set.

I have a tent built to shade my pumpkin in the top right corner. The plant has outgrown the garden and into the lawn. I cut all vines to stop it from growing and am letting it put the energy into the pumpkin. Only vine left growing is the main, now well over 35 ft
