Our pumpkin vine decided to keep growing through winter, so I left it to do its thing. Once the weather started warming up for spring this plant took off and is already doing better than last year. I got maybe 5 pumpkins last year as it struggled along then a couple more took forever to ripen over winter.
But now, there are at least twenty fruits and new flowers every day. We'll be eating pumpkins everyday if it continues growing like this.
Can you see the little yellow ladybug - I've been told they help with the powdery mildew, which explains why they're always on my pumpkin and zucchini plants!
