I had hoped this pumpkin would be growing faster than it is, but not bad, and lots of lessons learned for next year:

1) do a soil test
2) plant for a Christmas tree shape (right now all the side vines are at 45 degrees
3) use mycorz from the beginning (only learnt about them a month after transplant)
4) stake down vines (didn't realize the importance of that until after some high winds) and make sure my wind fence doesn't blow down

More lessons to come I think!
