Day 75

Note to self: when cutting a pumpkin off the vine, don't cut the vine in half. That was a long one too!

Today's harvest. I think I will remove seeds from one very soon, and I'll wait a week for the other to let it ripen a bit first. Don't worry, whomper is still out there. I can't bring myself to harvest the biggest one.

Day 74

Cleaned out the corn patch, found two pumpkins hidden in there. I think they enjoyed the shade.

Day 71

Seed Sproutin' Operation

Assassin Bugs

Unplanned Sunflower

Day 70

Well, Clone #1 is not looking too hot! Looks like I'll be relying on generation 2 via seeds...

Day 67

Time to attempt the creation of Clone #1. Here's the target (the black box)

Day 64

Extracted ~150 full-sized seeds. I have enough seeds that I can try a few methods of creating plants out of them. I'll put some in the freezer, some in a greenhouse, and some directly in my raised garden. Something is bound to grow! I'm not sure how tricky it is to utilize fresh seeds.

I also need to transplant my (potential) clones. It's going to be quite a task! There are so many roots to deal with. Also, my motivation to multiply via the clone method is low now that I have a few thousand seeds at my disposal.
