I have not forgotten about you guys! Just as busy as ever though… The plant is doing ok in the heat… I have a mister going on it going off throughout the day to keep it cool and moist. I have set a few pumpkins but culled all off but for the one that was growing the fastest. It is about 10 days old and the size of a soccer ball… Though other vines are doing better this pumpkin was going the best by far so I think I am going to stick with it.

With the weather that we have here in Vegas I think I might try for a second pumpkin plant after this one is done, then just improve the soil during the winter… I have starting thinking about things that I want to add, I need a soil test done again then add as needed. Overall my first pumpkin growing venture is going well, I am happy enough to do it again so that’s a good thing! I already broke my goal of simply getting a pumpkin to grow so im jazzed!

I would upload some pictures but I am at work right now… ill try to get some up when I get home.
