Re: growing up tip
Bob,
Wish I could say that to be true.. that was last years story, this years story
on the rain is it seems like every day it rains here.. I have only watered 2 times
this year.. Mother nature has done the rest... Last season I struggled through a
drought, and lost 2 pumpkins well over 500 pounds due to no rain, and then a heavy
downpour activated all the fertilizer that was sitting there that never leached
into the soil.. This season, I am hardly hand watering at all..
