RE: Slow grower, or not?
Need more information. Average temperature? Soil Test results? Exposure
to light? Seed stock?
Something isn't right but I'll wager there is more than one thing wrong.

Subject: Slow grower, or not?
I was looking through how much other people's plants grow and saw the
diary
of Urban_farmer. My pumpkin took 4 weeks to germinate and produce 3
leaves
and has now been in the ground 4 weeks. It is the size Urban_farmer's
was
after only 11 days!
I feed it with high potassium (3:1:6) liquid mix once a week for good
root
and flower development. Perhaps the one problem is it's get watered day
and
night from our bath. The water has very little soap and the only
differnece
I can tell is that it's raised the pH from about 5.8 to 6.6, and I read
that
bath water should not be bad for plants, is this wrong?
Otherwise it's looking strong and healthy. Any suggestions?
Alan
