Things are coming along but a little slower than last year, I planted later. A few things to remember for the off season. I need to get more shade cloth, even some to hang down from the sides. I have had a problem with squirrels. I think they have taken bites out of at least 4 kins and even terminated a main vine. Wind has also been a bigger problem than the past, I need to protect the patch from the North better. One kin is basketball size and the other two plants have 2 smaller pumpkins on each, it is almost decision time.
