It looks like I may have managed to under water the pumpkins, as their first true leaves started sagging today when I took their nighttime cold frame off. First thing I did was water them thinking that’s all they needed. Next I put the blue lounge chair over them so the sun wouldn’t put to much stress on them. Still they wouldn’t perk back up. After a few hours I checked to see if an insect could have done something to them. Nothing. The second true leaves on them look ok thankfully. The first true leaf on the 689 looks like it might recover partially, half dead, half alive. The one on the 1250 looks like its done, but again second leaf is ok. So it looks like I’ve been set back a bit but I don’t have to settle for a back up yet (knock on wood).
I spent a few hours this evening covering all plants to protect them from a potential frost. Weather Channel’s predicted low, 36°F, though it always ends up a tad lower, which in the mid to lower 30’s a few degrees can make the difference between plant life and death.
