These Mutha's need water and lots of it!. When they're really packin' it on at mid season they can gain more than 30 lbs in a day and most of it's water. The cleaner and more pure the water the better off you are er- well the pumpkin is better off. They grow fast on those days but you can't actually see them grow. I'm giving my plants a ton of organics right now to develop the root system to enable the uptake of nutriments-tea, kelp, fish fertilizer and shreaded pages from the novel "Myst". This week with the good weather I've been burying a lot of vines.
This blog reflects my thoughts, activities, practices & mistakes on growing Atlantic Giant Pumpkins on an urban plot in Seattle, Washington- and maybe a few other musings along the way.
