Pumpkins
Our pumpkins are coming along quite well! Of the 12 mounds I originally planted, around 7 are growing. As a bonus, two of the pumpkins from our carving party last year that I unceremoniously tossed in the garden to rot away over the winter have also sprouted up new vines in other areas of the garden.

Progress Inside and Out
Indoors
Due to the unseasonably cold spring so far, I have opted to keep my upside-down tomato planters inside until I am confident the sprouts have taken firm root. Out of 7 hanging planters, six of them had at least one sprout survive the first week. I probably broke the root of the sprouts that dying.
I have plenty of starts to spare, so I re-planted the dead sprouts and put some more lights up for all of the plants.
Plants: Deployed!
Garden
Saturday brought us some really lame weekend weather: rainy and 50s. Today was sunny and perhaps as high as the 70s. It was a perfect day to send my little green babies out into a world full of cats and raccoons and birds who would like nothing more than to eat them all up right now.
