The Growth Has Started!

Okay, we have now put a yardstick out by the pumpkin plant. Saturday, 6/28/08, the plant grew 4.5 inches! The diameter of the plant is over 25" now!

We are watering it 2-3x/day. I am putting a small amount of organic fertilizer on it weekly.

I think Bob & I are way more excited about this project than the kids, but I think now that the growth has started, hopefully they'll get more interested.

ummmm....

So...is this what your gigantic pumpkin looks like?? It is June 10th. Shouldn't there be a little more? I sang a song to it today....a grow, Grow, GRow, GROw, GROW already song. I will let you know if it worked.
My weeds grow....
