After a break of one year we are back with a new patch. Much smaller than my previous one and no greenhouse. Gonna make the best of it. It will be hard to improve my 621kg record of 2016.
I am trying to get the soil better with some 'black gold' humus. I already added some nutrients like Nitrogen. Planning to add Phosphor and Potassium the next weeks

I removed the greenhouse. Plant still looking healthy. The only thing that bothers me is the secondaries grow really slow. There is already one male flower open en almost no secondaries, strange.

Heat wave in Belgium. Since today we are not allowed anymore to use water for gardening . It's already dry for more than one month and temperatures are above 30° this week. So far my pumpkin loves it.
DAP 31: 268 lbs. Not a record breaker but maybe 1000 lbs is possible
