Transplanting
Hi! I am a first time pumpkin grower in Minnesota, in a western suburb of
Minneapolis. I have grown many vegetable gardens, but this is my first year
attempting to grow giant pumpkins. I will be growing all kinds of crazy
giant, odd colored veggies this year - it's going to be like Ripley's Believe
It Or Not... my neighbors are going to have me committed when they see the
gargantuan vegetables emerging in my back yard!!
I have prepared the soil for my pumpkins using all of the tips you have
posted, and this weekend I have to transplant some of my plants from the grow
lights to the garden before I have a giant pumpkin growing in my kitchen!!
My question is this - what kind of "boost" should I give them, if any, on
transplanting? What do they need to drink or eat in the early growing stages?
Thanks for all of the posted advice and daily humor!
