I spoke too soon, my pumpkins have suffered a disaster! After a 38 degree day yesterday about half the fruit split, which means I needed to pick them before their time. I've experienced this splitting of fruit wth tomatoes when they get uneven watering. I think I've been watering the pumpkins fairly evenly but maybe too much. About a week of low thirties then a couple of scorchers hasn't helped. Oh well, a couple of willing friends took some of the split fuit off my hands so none will go to waste

ReplyDeleteYeah, it's been a hot few weeks. Still, it's a bit hard to complain with flood, fire and earthquakes surrounding you.
ReplyDeleteWont stop me though, "Oh it's a bit hot and my pumpkins are knackered!"
