Yesterday I thought my pumpkin was lost. Well, the first one was truly lost - I snapped it off trying to reposition it. Anyway, the other 2 pumpkins on the plant looked like they were going to abort. I had even started a new seed to start over. My sister thought she was being funny when she wrote "I'll hold your pumpkin in my thoughts and prayers" but it may have worked because one of them is growing again I think. Those rainy days confused the plant I think.

So the new pumpkin was pollinated Friday 6/24 and is now 6 days old. It's a little behind the growth of the first one and like the first one it's also growing way too close to the vine.
