Re: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #44

I, too, thought my first giant-pumpkin season was over.  When high winds, 1
1/2" hail, and 4" of rain it us, my vines were horrible.  The first female
blossom had appeared just that morning.  Now, they all look great.  Well, MOST
of them look great.  I can no longer distinguish which parts of the vines are
the mains, secondaries, or tertiaries, but they are growing like crazy!  I
have new male blossoms this morning, but no female blossoms yet.  Of the nine
original plants, one didn't look great from the git-go.  One plant is almost
assuredly dead from the drubbing it took, but the other seven look like
they'll thrive and be able to produce pumpkins.  The two seeds I planted 10
days ago now have small first and second true leaves.  Soooo...even as a
novice, I can definitely say, "Don't give up!"

cheers,
duchess of gladstone
