Sound a little strange? Apparently it's one of the secrets to growing a giant pumpkin (tinyurl.com/m2fdvr). That same web site suggests selecting the most promising pumpkin and removing most of the rest. I'm not sure I'll be able to do that! Luckily I'm not looking for a prize winner. I just hope to get a pumpkin large enough to carve in October.
The rest of the garden is doing well. Our spinach is going to seed already. I'm not sure if that's normal. We only got a few leaves of spinach on each plant. I'll have to do some investigating into that.
We're experiencing a lettuce explosion. The new rule: every meal must contain lettuce. It's the only way to get through our harvest!
The beans have finally grabbed hold of the mesh we put on the fence, our single zucchini plant is growing strong, and our tomato and pepper plants are flowering. It's an exciting time in the garden.
