I know its been a while since Ive posted. I haven't been in the greatest of moods. There were four of us from my company that were going through cancer treatments the last year and a half. Two of us with breast cancer, one with an extremely rare form of cancer that is untreatable, and another bakery manager who had leukemia. She had a liver transplant last year. She developed a massive infection and just couldn't fight it. She died a couple of weeks ago. The pill I take has some nasty side effects including grouchiness and depression. I am always irritable and my mood swings are horrible. Sometimes I just want to cry for no reason. I don't think I'm depressed. I'm just pissed off at everyone and everything.Well that's enough griping.
I plant pumpkins every year and usually do OK with them. I have enough for fall decorations and Halloween and such. I usually just throw the seed out and let the pumpkins do their thing. This year I decided to try growing some jumbo pumpkins also. This year I put them in some really good dirt and Ive been giving them plant food. Since it has been so hot I have also been watering them quite frequently. Out of 8 vines, 6 jumbo and two regular, I just now got a pumpkin bump on one of the jumbo vines. Lots of blooms but no pumpkins. Is this a bad year for them or what? The little pumpkin isn't even the size of a golf ball yet.
I'm going to try and post more regularly. Since I am always off on Wednesday I'm going to try and at least post then every week.

Sorry to hear about your funk, but who can blame you?
ReplyDeleteAs for the pumpkins, I think they are slow this year, but ours really start taking off towards the end of August. If you have the blooms, hopefully the pumpkins will be following.
