The season is late, the plant is tired. The pumpkins sit and quietly add on the last few pounds. They are big enough to be a curiosity, small enough to not be grotesque monsters. Darn. I think there's too much salt in my soil, and too many deer eating my plant.
Anyway, its time for the late season burst of 0-0-60 fertilizer. It's 60% potassium, which helps plants grow healthy fruits.
Jemimah2 clocks in tonight at an estimated 203 pounds. Here she is wearing one of my old t-shirts. It keeps her cool and out of the sun, which keeps her from ripening too quickly.
