I've got a couple other good plants already up and ready for dirt. This one is a proven heavy hitter and I've goals. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357912 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357912 Thu, 02 Apr 2026 08:08:01 GMT DAP 30ish on my backup indoor plant. I don't think she will make a pound by April 1st, but she will be 12" by morning. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357744 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357744 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:59:49 GMT My little backup tomato for the indoor grow is starting to gain a little. I left it in good hands while I was away in SLC. I rigged up a makeshift drip system so my helper just had to fill the reservo... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357514 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357514 Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:59:43 GMT We had a great time at our first GPC IGC in SLC... I learned so so much and more importantly, met some really amazing people. I can't wait to get the year started. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357513 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357513 Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:52:12 GMT Pretty incredible, this is 7 days from opening the seed packet. 2 seeds were planted: 1 on the edge so I could watch the roots and 1 in the center of the pot like normal. The roots from the center pla... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357462 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357462 Tue, 03 Mar 2026 22:30:53 GMT She grew up against the leaf stem overnight. I tied it up so it's not touching anymore, but there is a brown spot where it was resting(bottom left side). Fingers crossed it heals. I'm doubtfully optim... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357395 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357395 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:26:59 GMT Just leaving this here so I can have a size reference later. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357370 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357370 Sun, 22 Feb 2026 19:45:06 GMT I think she took. We will see what happens. It's hard to believe the seed went into soil 43 days ago. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357350 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357350 Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:52:58 GMT Started playing Bumblebee with BLUEY last night, trying to get this mega to take. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357337 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357337 Mon, 16 Feb 2026 17:06:56 GMT First attempt at making tea with castings from my worm bin. Let's see if we can make some foam. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357333 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357333 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 16:34:21 GMT Maybe there is a slim chance this main vine keeps growing. I thought it was done. If nothing else, this little indoor experiment will help me learn a few basics before springtime. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357310 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357310 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:01:12 GMT What appears to be a first truss mega caught my eye yesterday. It's sitting right above the 8-9th true leaf. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357287 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357287 Thu, 05 Feb 2026 09:07:13 GMT 25 days out of the dirt and exactly 4 weeks since starting the seed. I like the thickness of the main stem. I wish my bucket was clear so I could watch the roots grow. I may look into that. This is my... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357282 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357282 Wed, 04 Feb 2026 09:04:20 GMT Transplanted into a bucket yesterday. She looks happy to be 3 weeks old. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357263 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357263 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 13:39:58 GMT Significant size difference in the 4 tomato plants in this picture. As part of an experiment, these are all the same seed and planted at the same time. The difference is the cups in which they were st... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357251 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357251 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:26:30 GMT I was right. Male flower opened and we officially have a bloom in 2026. I forgot how good the blooms smell... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357237 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357237 Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:17:18 GMT I believe we will have the first official pumpkin bloom of 2026 by morning. This plant has been in a McDonald's cup since Thanksgiving. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357236 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357236 Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:15:02 GMT Been out of the ground for 9 days now.

Tap root is almost to the bottom of the cup. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357235 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357235 Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:10:56 GMT Started these Yohe tomatoes on 1/7. Probably a little late to get in on the winter contest, but I'm going to try. This is my first attempt at germinating a tomato, and Jay's seeds were 5/5. I did not ... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357180 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=357180 Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:11:32 GMT DAP 29 with OTT 233 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355843 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355843 Thu, 04 Sep 2025 10:43:21 GMT
