Plant growing slow. Nearly lost this blossom to low phosphorus/nitrogen/calcium.
This plant may not be ready to grow a pumpkin. It was planted in an area of very poor soil. But that's not an excuse! That just means I need to figure out how much more of this and that, that the plant needs!
I think I need to work on the soil biology, soil ph, and getting the side vines to root. There aren't too many side vines, but that could be a good thing, just need enough to fill 150 sq ft.
Tomatoes are starting to bloom also... Going to see if I can collect any pollen tomorrow?? Plants are looking better... Not sure why they love that one area so much (especially when the weather is nice). Looks like I can probably get some 5+ lb. first truss megas. My/Anna's pb for first truss mega is 5.01, a good target. Maybe I'll beat this.
