The plant this morning before work. We have our first flower. I know some growers will prune them when the plant is smaller, but I am going to let mine grow until later when a pumpkin is around basketball sized and will be the one. Looks like a bit of wind damage. I checked the leaves and didn't see any bugs. Yesterday was the first day of vine burying and I am using WOW Soil and Plant Booster and Mycorrhizae Inoculant. We also spoon fed yesterday-soil and foliar drenches of two gallons total. I know late morning/early afternoon is the ideal watering time, but this isn't always possible with work and having the patch about 3.5 miles down the road. I will be removing the second plant soon. Secondaries are starting to emerge. Last year I had some secondaries cross over each other so I want to do a better job of staking and guiding them this year.
