In my garden


It appears I may have a case of Blossom End Rot :(

And a mould problem :(

It seems I missed the ‘easy to grow, cannot kill pumpkins’ memo!

And they start off looking so sweet & perfect…

Any and ALL hints and tips on pumpkin growing are welcome!

The vegetable garden on the other hand is thriving ;)

And I am SUPERB at growing unknown plants

This could be a gerbera… or maybe it’s an echinacea… either way, it’s one of the few first batch of seedlings that survived and grew a flower!

Your pumpkins might just need some more sex :) seriously. You often need to help pumpkins by rubbing the male and female flowers together. If you don't get good fertilisation the fruit just withers. Not sure about the mould. Maybe try watering earlier in the day, but I imagine you have high humidity. don't give up though. You're doing great
