I have no idea how many more days until I give in to a killer frost. I am guessing that I may have another 2 to 6 weeks of growing season. With the cool summer and now really cool temps again, this one is not going to make significant growth between now and when the vine dies.
Well I really hope this one gives you a Big Surprise !!!!! We usually have to deal more with the extreme heat and humidity here in Missouri. This summer has been unusually wet which is really a good thing. Usually we are in drought condition here and really laying the water to the garden, plus I use sun shades for the garden trying to prevent the plants from sun burning and basically cooking the plants. So I am routing you on to a great grow my friend!!!
I've been giving it some 10-10-10. Probably should have planted it in a batch of chicken leavings.
Thank you for the information R2elk.
Hoping your pumpkins are ok! Cover them with a sheet?
It gets too windy here to cover them. If it is a light frost and then going to warm back up, I turn the sprinklers on until the temp has risen. Works pretty good for me. If it's going to freeze every day, I let it go.
