Today I took the pumpkin plants out for their first direct sun of the season. It was the first day in a while that it hasn't been too windy or too cold or that we even had some consistent sun. The plants seemed to like it. In past years the leaves tended to droop after a little while when the plants got their first direct sun light because they weren't used to the intensity. This year I added some additional wattage to the grow "closet" and that seems to have helped. (note to DEA: the glow from the closet is not illicit. Please don't kick the door down.)

The Pumpkin Plants are Growing Nicely
Today I took the pumpkin plants out for their first direct sun of the season. It was the first day in a while that it hasn't been too windy or too cold or that we even had some consistent sun.
