Its nice to see Farmerjacks pumpkin and the fact he is getting some hot weather.
Where I am on the East Coast I wish we could buy some sunshine.
I sit here looking out my window watching a tarp blow off my one set fruit as water still flows through my patch. What a difference one year can make.
Brisbane averaged just 4.5 hours of sunshine per day during December. Pumpkins dont grow with no sun.
Hows everyone else doing?
Cheers

Same here Clinton, all rain and no sun makes for very unhappy pumpkins! Somehow they have held together and kept growing, but the powdery mildew has started... just cant spray in the rain.
With more rain/floods forcast it doesnt look good for us!
Hope it all works out and best of luck!!

I can't believe the weather your having over there. We have been watching the Bureau of Meteorology ( bom.gov.au ). Hope it clears for you in the next few days and your soil drains well. Most of all stay safe. These plants are more hardy than we think sometimes. We are having lots of cloud cover here in Northland but no major rain.
