Here are my pumpkin plants! If you've noticed, I've cut them back tremendously. They're not as leafy as before. I did this for a few reason. #1 - So more nutrients will go towards my pumpkin and less towards the leaves. #2 - Hopefully, I don't need to water them every day. I was beginning to water them every other day but noticed today, there was still a bit of water left in its container from Friday's watering. #3 - Trying to cut back on this annoying white fungus that's been growing on them :(
I think I'll need a bigger container for the pumpkin really soon! I thought it'd be awesome if I could have a square pumpkin so I'm trying to think of ideas on how to get a square but sturdy/strong container. Any ideas?

I spy hopefully another pumpkin bulb (in the middle). Those whitish spot are sadly the white fungus growth that keeps spreading. I'm trying a milk and water solution to hopefully kill it off. Not sure if it's working as I've sprayed R, F and Su so far.... If it's still growing, next week, I'll try an apple cider vinegar and water solution... Fingers crossed I can hold them back long enough until my pumpkin matures!!!!
Here's my other container with arugula to the left and my now HUGE cherry tomato plant. I seriously need a taller support stick, but I don't have a tall enough one. You can't even see the two support sticks that are currently being used! :( I read/heard somewhere that they typical grow up to 8 ft tall! It's currently almost 5 ft. I'm gonna be in trouble soon if I can't find something!!!
I spy green cherry tomatoes! There are currently 3 little batches growing, but this pictures shows only two batches. I'm so excited. Really can't wait til they turn bright red! :D
