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.

Next time I plant early 😔

I find they really started to get going when I gave them more fertiliser though.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago

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 ❤️
