Tough day yesterday--windy like all heck. In spite of my windbreak (see previous photos) and the fact that my yard is surrounded by trees, I get a wicked south-easterly that blows over the house and hits my plant head on. The toll (at last count) was 9 huge mature leaves blown over. I cut a couple out (the ones lying over each other). The other ones I will leave until they get eaten and ratty--or others replace them. In other news, I think the pollination may have took. The day after I pollinated she stayed open all day (underneath the bac), but today she is closed and the bottom appears to have swollen ever so slightly. Keeping fingers crossed. It is early in the season, so I am hoping to grow a couple of pumpkins off this plant. Today I will add several more wheelbarrows of compost from the neighbor around the base of the plant.
