It pours...well not so much, but there was enough. The pumpkin plants are growing as usual, but I have bad news about the girl flower. It looks as though my earlier suspicions were on point. I only wish there was a vet for plants (there probably is, I just haven't been looking in the right places) so I could just take them in and get them a magic pill.The girl flower looks sadder and sadder every day. I guess it really isn't supposed to change color before it opens. I stopped out in the rain to get a couple of pictures of the pumpkins on the 28th. The next pictures are from the 30th. The plants look good and happy in the rain, but the pumpkin bud, not so much.
It is comforting to see that the plants have new growth; its just sad that none of the new growth is another pumpkin bud. They still have time (I know I keep saying this, but they do). The little paper package said 100 days for fruit. So, two weeks, they have two weeks to make fruit. Otherwise, it looks like I will be building some new type of contraption in an attempt to prolong the suffering.Oh, and 2 seems to want to take out some aggression, its trying to steal Ollie's gun. That gives me an idea...Also, let me ask you, what can you do with a dead brown pumpkin bud and a gun? And I am holding out hope to the bitter end...
