Pumpkin patch


The pumpkin seeds germinated just over a week ago and they grow so fast this weekend was about time to plant them on. I've been digging the front of the plot for a few days to get it ready and with the help of my friend Dave we got 16 plants in. I'm thinking now they might a bit close only 2' apart but we'll see how they do. Each was helped along with a pile of rotted manure under the roots and a heathy watering in. The plan is to try and grow a couple of whoppers and then some smaller ones for eating. I've planted them near where the water butts will go so watering will be easier! Also I have plans for a secret growing concoction but more info on this another time....
