Pumpkin Update

The pumpkin plants are coming along.  They have male flowers that are opening each day.  So far, no female flowers have opened.   The first side vines from one plant have already hit their maximum allowed length; I will have to figure out how to deadhead them later today or tomorrow.
 
The vines are growing like crazy with all of the rain we have had lately.  I was out of town this past weekend, so I have some catch up weeding and vine burying to do.  The vine burying seems to have worked.  With all of the bad storms we have had, so far the plants are still doing great.
 
 It is almost time to apply the compost tea again.
