Did this include the giant pumpkin project?

Unfortunately yes. The last major hot streak we had that killed about 80% of my crop took the pumpkin out also. That thing was growing at an amazing rate. You could actually see the size increase day to day.

I even covered the entire plant with shade cloth and it was not enough.

In a very narrow band we had horrible growing conditions. 20-30 miles away in any direction got enough rain that their crops done OK but the rain just kept missing us. Even the outside gardens sucked this year and you can't hardly kill one of those usually.

Putting the offer of free chocolate cherry tomato seeds out again this year. They need to be started inside 8-16 weeks before you transplant them outside. The time varies by how you start them and how big you want them when you transplant.

Would be happy to answer any seed starting questions.

PM me your address if you would like some this year.
