Andrea is 36 DAP today. Growth has slowed a lot as nights have cooled down to as low as 10c, tho avg is 12-15c. Got her covered with a blanket, she grew an inch over two days, but seems to put that growth on top, so the circumference barely moved. Only when i did all 3 measurements could i tell she grew.
Proud that I made it past 30 days... another few days to 40dap, and the seeds will be viable to give out to kids or what not for free to use next season. these seeds are great for orange colour for larger sized jack o lanterns. Also proud that i proved the naysayers wrong, who said i couldnt grow a pumpkin in my small area.
In fact, i think it would be fun to have a contest for a smaller grow area. Many people out there who dont have 150sq feet or think they cant grow pumpkins as their garden too small etc. You totally can!!! You will not be winning any weigh offs most likely but you can have a lot of fun and grow one as big as your space allows. 60 ft challenge? 75 ft? (half of 150 challenge). That is about where my limits are myself. That being said i have more space just not as a growing space... can grow down out of the patch or up side of fence or a tree... but i might be able to get 60-75ft of soil to start in next season. Anyone up for a smaller growing space challenge?
