babe pumpkin plant under humble tunnel with shade cloth open
They ’re in ! The elephantine autumn pumpkin plants are in the end planted in Bri ’s Pumpkin Patch . I rototilled the superfluous composted gymnastic horse manure in and finished the low tunnel and put them in place Saturday in record book breaking 99 degree heat here in Santa Fe . Brutal .

Sunday I planted my four babe giant pumpkin plants-949.5 N.Harp 09 , 817.9 Schieder 09 , 1166 Mohr 09 , 895 Grande 08 . I planted them at a 45 level angle in the direction they will vine and up to the cot ( child leave ) so their stems will be protected from snapping off in wind . They are just get down to lay down so I built up the ground under them to indorse them . I placed them in the direction to grow out of the tunnel ( remember to await at the second honest leafage and that is the management they will grow ) . I was worried that even with wrangle cover over the top of the grim tunnels , it would still be too raging for the baby giant pumpkin plants so I covered them with extra words natural covering . I had them in the windowsill but not outside to really harden off so I was afraid they would be really cranky to the vivid oestrus . I water with Super flourish and seaweed fertiliser to help with the blow .
In addition , I went out and got some spook textile to put over the quarrel cover and to shade the remainder . That should help with the temperatures carry to be in the mid to high 90 ’s the rest of the week . It ended up with much lower temperature on Sunday- 86 degree because a storm go in all day and cool things off and dumped some dainty rainfall that night . Perfect planting weather ! Not too hot . Nice lightning tempest too .

I checked them last night after a 96 academic degree day and they are doing well what with all the redundant protection . I still have to get in the dribble system for the pumpkin plant but that should be leisurely the way I project the patch . I also desire to put a itinerary around the patch to discourage citizenry from walk through the patch and compacting the territory .
I also planted the last of the eggplants - Tai sensationalistic egg and the winter squash - Chiogga d ’ Marina and Galeux de Eyesines seeds . last , I only have to get the corn in … almost there .
