I have 2 plants growing already but I don't know how they fared in all the rain we had today. One of them looks more like a bush pumpkin than a vine pumpkin, but Dave said not to pull it up so I'm not. The other one is an anemic looking 1' long vine.

Dave's sharecropping a plant in my yard and his plant looks pretty good, but then he's been feeding it some secret ingredients so it's expected to be doing better. I'm trying to go the organic route, if I don't get sucked over to the dark side of chemicals when Dave's plant starts to outgrow my 2 plants.

I started them indoors and put them outside under walls of water on May 5, but took the walls of water off 2 weeks later when it started to warm up. Since then it's been pretty cool and rained a lot. Here's hoping for warmer weather.
