Catch up: planted seeds in early April. Sprouts began to appear April 14. Some crapped out, so I got more seeds and started the second round of seeds in early May. Transplanted sprouts from 4�x4� pots to a 5�-diameter kiddie pool in mid May. Used many bags of raised bed potting soil and mixed in blood meal. Started adding some weird �fish shit juice� from my husband's aquaponics friend about a week ago. It was some sort of sorcery. They are GROWING!
Current: I have six kiddie pools of giant pumpkin plants in my driveway. Three have a lone plant because I learned my lesson. One contains two plants, one of which has the monster vine of the �farm��it�s about 6-foot, thick and firm and has serving tray sized leaves and buds! One pool has three plants�longest vine there is about 8 feet. One has five plants. I made the mistake (?) of naming them�which did encourage me to take better care of them but wayyyy too hard to eliminate underperformers. I need to learn to be more ruthless. Video is from this morning.
Doing what I can with the space I have ??
