Dill's Giant Atlantic pumpkin diary

Well, if it produces anything, I will update.

If it was here it definitely wouldn't produce anything at this time of year. First frost here is usually the first weekend in September.

It definitely won't produce anything from that blossom since it is a male blossom. If you get a female blossom, the shape of the fruit on the blossom will tell you whether it is a squash or a pumpkin.

Ok, I will look out for more blossoms. I don’t think we ever get frost in September. But I’m sure we will before any squash could get big enough.

Edit: They are saying our first frost is October 10.

Once they get going zucchini can grow really fast. That and the smaller ones are the most tender.

You know, I may have thrown some zucchini out there. The neighbor gave me some, and I shredded and froze it, but there might have been one that went bad before I got to it…

It is 8 ½" long, 8" wide and 8" tall.

Looks to have doubled in size over the past 2 days.

It’s a shame that it didn’t start that in June.
