Went to check before some expected rain, was worried she might blow! http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362911 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362911 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 17:11:21 GMT This plant is now in the ball park of 600-700 square feet. Not a sign of PM and no pests at all. I squish the odd cuke beetle I see but the neem oil has all but eliminated them. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362769 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362769 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 10:43:15 GMT This one is just for fun. Originally I had Scarlett runners planted around the pen, but the squirrels had other ideas. The is an 8 inch one growing, if it amounts to anything I'll post a pic. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362619 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362619 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:56:56 GMT About 8 ornamentals filling in nicely. The long gourds are finally getting with the program. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362618 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362618 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:53:06 GMT 1101 Ebbett chugging along nicely. 38 DAP http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362617 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=362617 Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:50:42 GMT Got a pretty good long gourd going. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355150 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355150 Fri, 08 Aug 2025 14:26:29 GMT Growing sugar baby watermelons which are doing surprisingly well. The hammocks relieve vine stress. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355149 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=355149 Fri, 08 Aug 2025 14:25:22 GMT This is one unhappy plant. We received 5 inches of rain and half the plant was submerged this morning. We'll see if it makes it. On the flip side my 1728 Chan is doing great in the greenhouse. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=346783 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=346783 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 13:37:06 GMT I have a very healthy 1743 Chan ready to go in this weekend when the weather takes a turn for the better. In the past I had plants in the ground by May 1st no matter what. Trying a different approach... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=344484 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=344484 Thu, 09 May 2024 22:18:43 GMT Cat bird waiting for the insects to appear. These and many others chow down on many garden pests. I encourage birds at the cost of a few damaged leaves. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=344483 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=344483 Thu, 09 May 2024 22:12:32 GMT 2212 Chan tucked in for the night. A little cool here so the heater is helping out. Strongest plant by far. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=344482 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=344482 Thu, 09 May 2024 22:07:27 GMT Best seeds ever! http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=343047 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=343047 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 22:27:33 GMT Whoa baby, seeds arrived today, thanks Fred. Last year did everything right l, didn't figure on a foot of rain followed by more rain and diseased soil. Lots of snow and using a big ass greenhouse thi... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=343046 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=343046 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 22:24:52 GMT Looking for an extension cord under the stairs and found this old dirty frame and post cards from the Dills. My ADD hasn’t always served me well but it did today! This baby is going on the pumpkin w... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=342680 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=342680 Sat, 18 Nov 2023 12:30:41 GMT Not many victories this year except for the face that I still haven’t seen ANY powdery mildew, none. This is the first time I’ve ever used neem oil so I’ll be using it again. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=342168 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=342168 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 10:31:42 GMT At the beginning of the season I felt like the guy on the left. By the end of July I was feeling more like little guy. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341894 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341894 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 12:17:21 GMT Why not celebrate successes, the mini pumpkins, scarlet runners and cherry tomatoes are all doing fantastic although none of the beef steak varieties have made it to maturity. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341551 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341551 Tue, 05 Sep 2023 12:16:16 GMT This is the 822 Dill plant that refuses to stop growing. It also refuses to set a pumpkin. It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a pathogen in the soil. I terminated all the vines yet third stage growt... http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341550 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341550 Tue, 05 Sep 2023 12:12:18 GMT This is the one and only fruit to set on a small plant and late pollination. I’m not bummed out though, it’s the way it goes sometimes. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341549 http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=341549 Tue, 05 Sep 2023 12:05:54 GMT
