Well, good luck on your pumpkins, and you are right, it was horrible
watching my patch get hailed on. In fact, I was about to cover it when my
dad told me that we didn't get hail that could hurt my plant and the next
minute we watched my patch get shreded. Not a good site but watching all
the new growth I am getting is fun
