well I know it's super late in the season to be doing this but I JUST got my pumpkin in the ground. Due to lack of money I didnt have enough to do a nutrient pit for the pumpkin to go in so it stayed in a pot for longer than it should have. The soil in the pot consisted of mushroom compost cow crap and regular soil. Ive got three true leaves so far with a 4rth trying to pop up. Non of them have very much size to them either which also is of concern. after the third leaf sprang out its like the plant just totally stopped growing. I attribute this to one of two things. 1. it got pot bound and couldn't grow much larger- although when I took it out of the pot it didnt seem all that pot bound or 2. there was not proper drainage due to all the soil amendments in the pot causing the water to get caught and cause root rot. Either way Im just hoping it will spring back with its new home in the ground! I hope with every fiber of my being I didnt kill the poor thing. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Bond
