No greenhouse, naturally protected from wind in that location, no heating cables, and get about 9 hours sun a day. Soaked hoses on timers, regular feeding and insecticides similar to everything I read in all of your diaries. (Thank you very much). 907 started out fast and 1604 and 1718 have caught up in the last couple days. All three are about 7’ long and all looking to take over the world. Seems like I move the walking planks every other day. Everything in front of them is freshly tilled, and laid out some cardboard in front to keep weeds down. Looks trashy, but this was lawn two seasons ago, and wants to return to it badly... side hill isn’t ideal, but main garden only has until mid September to produce, before it turns into a big concrete slab and a shop expansion, so the pumpkins won’t have an “expired by” date.
