Re: New Guy
First timer, late starter, over-thinker...
I have a couple of questions if anyone can help.
1) Hearing all of this frantic talk of borers is making me
paranoid. Do I need to worry about them in the Pacific NW?
2) I just pollinated my first 2 females. How long until I know if
I've got a bun in the oven? (The flowers closed like a little
version of the Little Shop of Horrors plant.)
3) One of my vines tried to escape by climbing a nearby fence.
It almost made it but broke off in the attempt. Do I need to
treat the broken end with anything? I'm pretty sure that a well
publicized failure like that should discourage any other vines
from making the attempt.
4) Can I coerce a new pumpkin into laying across (on the opposite
side) it's vine? There's a nice little spot that looks more
suitable than the one where it would likely fall. (note: it's still
vertical.) (when I say "coerce" I of course mean gently
and slowly)
