Out on their own...

What a difference a couple of weeks make!  All my pumpkin plants are outdoors in big pots (I always plant pumpkins in pots, unfortunately I don't have enough room in my flower beds).  Their looking good, and the warty squash even has a little fruit developing.

Sadly one plant isn't doing so well.  The spoon squash hasn't put on a growth spurt like the others.  I have put it in the green house to encourage it along, but even that hasn't even seem to help.  Shame really, I was looking forward to watching some unusual squashes develop.  : - (.

Pumpkin drama

I' am currently in the process of hardening off my jack 'o' lantern plant when horrors of horrors the wind got up and caused the main stem to bend.

 

At first I was going to leave until Friday when I planned to plant it out with my other squashes.  However on seeing the local forecast, and seeing that the weather is settled for a few days.  I've decided what the heck, I'll put Jacko out before the damage gets worse.

 

So here Jacko is, buried deep in plastic pot full of compost, and with a bit of tinkering plus a trusty bamboo cane, I managed to even out the kink.  So fingers crossed this particular Pumpkin drama should be at an end.
