Growing the 2222 Godzilla again in 2025 since I harvested some good seeds from last years pumpkin. 1 plant will be grown in 650 square feet the other in around 150 square feet. Im 2 weeks ahead of last years pace. No heating cables or hoop houses this year. Started the seeds in doors April 15th. In the ground April 28th. Spring started off cold but now we jumped from cold to warm very quickly here in northern New Jersey. Now it's all up to mother nature and will see if i can get a PB 15 miles from NYC.
Today marks 1 month old from seed sprout which was April 20th and transplanted outside April 28th at 8 days old. No hoop houses or cables strictly mother nature. Noticed cucumber beetles yesterday which I sprayed the plants. Some wind damage to the leaves but the stong west winds we had past 2 days helped the plants lay down finally. A bit weathered but not horrible. Second plant is close to this size and started to lay down also.
