I planted the pumpkins this morning. Hopefully, they'll do better than last year when all the pumpkin plants got drowned by unusually high rainfall.

We had a high of 87 today but it's supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow.

i'm hoping we'll see the lower 80s by later this
week.

we just came off several evenings in the mid-30s so it
isn't going to be warm enough yet.

we'll see what next week brings...

Six days after planting, all 15 hills have pumpkins sprouting on them. I think the daily watering helped.
