In Netherlands we have three dry days with sunshine, not cold.
Not bad.
Germany was hot, France moderate but not bad?
Sweden not hot? UK wet and moderate?
Belgium insufficient sun so far, like here!

My champion (???) pumpkin should be pollinated tomorrow, very late. So I hope finally for a warm and sunny august and september, at least to get a chance. :D

Nothing special coming from my outside patches this year. Just hoping I can keep the ones inside whole.

Cornwall UK.(50N 5W)300ft.

We just had two nice days but the weather map has turned red again for the next three.Insufficient sun bigtime.
I've even had thoughts of committing Pumpkin suicide,pull the plants up and forget about it for this year but they say there could be sunlight at the end of the tunnel in August.

Pumpkins are growing slower than last year. Maybe they pick up the pase? maybe the patch is still to wet or the nutri has drenched away?

Hope I can bring something to Duisburg

In Poland in this season is very wet (now too).

In april meteorologists talked that this summer in Poland can be one of the hottest summers in ever was, but now I see rain and big wind.

I have some problems with this wind.

I hope that will be better.
