Dill's Giant Atlantic pumpkin diary

Now that's a nice looking 'mater shrub!

I see you take full advantage of your greenhouse. I love mine too. I like to have nice size plants when I put them in the ground.

Just transplanted into bigger pots last night. 2 plants are kinda iffy cause the one on the bottom left got sunburnt on top of being under fluorescent lighting and the top upper right was a broken seed so its growth was stunted to begin with:

And as of this evening this is what they look like:

I’ll probably do my final transplanting into the ground outdoors this weekend in hopes that the weather cooperates with me.

Last frost is likely May 30 or 31. It did a light frost this morning.

(Late) Week #4 update: Transplanted 6 outdoors so far and still have 5 left to plant…

I have them temporarily fenced in cause the wild turkeys keep thinking I’m doing all this work for them.

Today's weather forecast says the last frost was yesterday. It's been changing from day to day.

Set them out on the deck today.

Got tired of waiting.

The plastic liner worked great. Made it easy to lift the plants out of the tub. Cut it off close to one side and the rest pulled out from under it easily.

Got ‘em all planted. Week #5 update:

They might be a bit closer to each other than I wanted them to be but I didn’t trust planting them anywhere else here at this point.

Hoping for the best
