The pumpkins have been hand pollinated and buds/leaves wiped down where necessary. There were a few more female flowers open so I hope I get some fruit.
I weighed the remaining foil pan down with a partial brick to prevent the wildlife water from tipping over but given my area I’m now wondering if that’s a good idea… one of the druggie fuckwits could impulsively throw that right through my window. It would be on camera so I could get them charged and have proof I wasn’t responsible for the damage but it’s still not a nice thought.
My stomach is so angry -_- Being stressed all the time just doesn’t help. Having another test today.
still got tons of buds on my butternut as well but only 1 fruit so far.
Butternut are the best
they would be if they grew haha
Next time I plant early 😔
I find they really started to get going when I gave them more fertiliser though.
mine were planted cup day. I think yeah crappy soil and not enough fertilizer was my mistake.
The police won't do shit about footage of a junkie throwing a brick through your window.
Probably not. I’ve done this dance before.
But I would need the police report and proof of it not being me so I don’t have to pay for damages or get kicked out.
Good luck with your test ❤️
Thanks
