Here is the 333 with a lot of wind protection. Ideally I'd like to grow pumpkins in a polytunnel but that will have to wait until next year. Untill then I will just have to deal as best I can with bent leaves, broken stems and stressed roots due to wind which occurs even at low speeds. I'm moving the cloche forward about 6" every day as the vine lengthens. Some good news is that the soil pH is down from 7.6 last year to a very comfortable 6.8, no doubt due to the sulphur that I added all those months ago!
