I'm growing pumpkins in the yard and they are my babies. LOL
First I thought I would have a lot of pumpkins as a whole bunch came up, but all but one turned orange, died and dropped off! I'm thinking that the insecticide I sprayed on them killed the bees and prevented pollination or something.
Well I have one pumpkin growing and it wasn't until recently that more female flowers popped up. Three pumpkins started growing and they were growing big fast so I was optimistic that they will turn out.
Then a stupid groundhog ate one of my pumpkins! It will surely come back for the others tomorrow! Darn you groundhog! (shakes fist angrily in air) ROFL
I'm going to go to Home Depot today to see if I can fashion some kind of protective cover for my pumpkins.
Does anyone have any tips on keeping wild life out of the garden?
The groundhogs are cute, but my pumpkins are my babies! lol
