Looking at my diary from last year, I realized I never showed the final picture of the pumpkins that were in the greenhouse. They didn’t get as big as I wanted them to due to my overwatering and plant age, but they sure came out beautiful. Here’s a photo of both pumpkins, they were crossed with each other so they should make some beautiful pumpkins plus the one being 21% heavy is kinda an added bonus. Also, I’ll leave a YouTube link below for both pumpkins from the time they were a seed to the end of season. YouTube

Sneak peak at the 1783 New. Not much to look at yet, but should have a main vine by next week. It’s growing really well in its little mini climate inside the greenhouse. Air temperature fluctuates between 72-84F. Soil is 83F. It’s definitely growing better out there in the natural sun than it would in a pot under a grow light. Plus, I think there will be a huge benefit for the roots to not be restricted and able to run fast and free.
