Well the good news is that the pumpkins are continuing to make great progress. With five plants on each hill, I never expected them all to flourish. But now that they're growing so fast and starting to crowd each other, I had to select the weakest from each hill to take one for the team. I may need to thin them again at some point if even three per hill is too much to support. Here at left is a shot before the thinning.
