While the season is almost over for all you Northern Hemisphere growers, it's just about to kick off here down under in the Southern Hemisphere. I'm growing in what I like to call the worlds smallest giant pumpkin patch, and to fill in my time of not burying vines etc, I'm vlogging through the season, stuff that's happening around these parts, and there will be appearances from other growers like Tim and whoever else I can find. Check out episode 2 right here: https://youtu.be/5XKgoXUR0Ms Subscribe if you want to keep up to date.

I've been delivering pumpkin seedlings to schools and retirements homes of all places, I had a think about watering, and also set up some early protection for my seedling. Was hoping to do more, but life gets in the way and being busy doesn't help.
