Pumpkin
Last year, the kids carved the Halloween pumpkin on the porch and we
washed the seeds into the front garden. Now we have a huge pumpkin vine growing. There are about a dozen large leaves and probably five or six flower buds. Since temperatures are getting into the high 90s now, what can I do to make sure this plant produces pumpins for the fall- or do you think it will make it that long? How or when should I prune it? I read that letting it get too large discourages insects from helping pollinate the flowers. Should I plant some lantana, or other insect-attracting plant next to it? Right now, there are just three dying gardenia plants (that's another post, entirely) near the pumpkin. Any advice would be great. |
