Dill's Giant Atlantic pumpkin diary

Good luck. Fortunately for you, you have more time left in the fall than I get.

Well you do have a point there. I know one thing the rabbits can’t get to them this year. I got a brand new fence around the garden. Took the wife and I a week to get it done.

Will post another update later this week.

I did that last year and in one night the rabbits totally destroyed my pumpkin plants. I am going to keep them fenced in from now on. I will keep the vine’s pruned to help with containment.

Male blossom

 

[AMM10]

Yeah, no female blooms as of yet. Just the one male so far.

 

[R2elk]

That's one more bloom than I have. It's normal to get male blossoms first. I hate it when I get a female blossom and there are no male blossoms available.

Mine isn't in bloom yet.

I think by the time it gets there you might have some.
