3/4/11 The little family

It was sad to see Ned pass on.  I had hoped with some creative watering, or drying as the case may be, I might have the chance to save (or resurrect) Ned.  Well, that failed.  I guess the transplant was a little too much for poor Ned.  I took Ned's peat pot out of the dirt to see if a little drying helped.  It did not.  Ned did not get better with dry dirt, nor did replacing him and adding water help.  I suppose Ned is indeed dead.

Alice and Pogo do have a new little friend who is slowly growing up.  The last peat pot has two new pumpkin plants growing from it as well; one of them took off like a weed (somewhere I'm sure pumpkins are considered weeds, but not here).  Now I have to work on new names for all of the new plants.  Well I think I might hold off for a bit to make sure they don't die too...for now lets just watch them grow...On another note, Clive has grown his first real pumpkin leaves...
