Here's a horrible picture of the main plant. It's horribly dark because it rained a heck of a lot today. Thunder, lightning, the whole shebang. But, I don't notice any major damage. Of course, I couldn't really go into the patch because it was so soaked. That might have something to do with a bit of overwatering last night.
I had trouble with the timer (user error) and eventually gave up and just turned the tap off and let the timer open and close to it's heart's content. With no feed, it couldn't do any more damage. Anyway, with the rain, I figure that I probably don't have to water for almost a week.
Yesterday I managed to bury most of the main vine. That was good. But, while I was scooping up dirt to cover the vines, I ripped through some roots that I thought were from weeds. But, they were way too long to be from the puny weeds in the patch. Then I realized that they must be from the pumpkin. NOT GOOD!
I was surprised at how far out they had spread and at how shallow they were, only about an inch below the surface in some areas and barely covered at all in others. I should have taken pictures of all of this. But, it has been in the mid 30's Celcius here for the last little while. With the humidex, it felt like 39. So, who had time to think of pictures?
