Click on a thumbnail picture below to see the full size version. 5 Entries. Saturday, August 5 View Page I have 4 pumpkins on this 400 Zunino , this is the only one on the main and biggest. Due to time constraints, I planted and just let everything go. There are secondaries growing off tertiaries up in the air (Quinary?). My kids sports rule my life, but I’m pleasantly surprised with how this plant and the couple other FP type growing in it handled the heat on their own.   Friday, August 11 View Page Patch is an absolute mess of multiple varieties growing all over each other, but we have a lot of pkns in just a small area. We’ve been controlling the disease and still see no PM, and yes, even the little guys split.   Friday, August 11 View Page Zunino getting more orange by the day. I now have 5 of them total on the 1 plant. Two are pictured with the smaller on an unburied secondary sharing space with varieties in previous pic. Soil prep in spring was key, I’m not doing any pruning or fertilizers. Really hit the clay base for drainage. Fun year with minimal effort.   Tuesday, September 19 View Page Here’s to harvesting the 400 Zunino to move to the porch. I have 5 viable pumpkins on the plant without vine burying or pruning this year. I hope to have time next year to try for a biggun especially since I get sun after 230pm now (trees died and removed). Plants did all the work, I just got the soil ready in spring. Also pictured is the smallest gourd I’ve ever grown.   Wednesday, September 27 View Page Taken last weekend after I pulled the mess of plants. Glad everything is harvested because we have a tournament in that backwards blue state of Illinois this weekend. Not sorry ):
