I posted last week about two giant pumpkin seedlings I had growing in my garden this year. Unfortunately we had a big windstorm with rain and the bigger of the two seedlings was broken right at ground level. It was alost completely sheared off. So I cleaned the break gently with bottled water, applied a little neosporin, put skewers on either side, gently closed the stem back into place, used floral tape to hold it in place and now I'm hoping for the best. I've fixed small branches using this method on shrubs. But for the pumpkin it dosent look good. So I also went ahead and braced the other one, just in case we had large winds again. I'd send photos but haven't figured out how to do it yet on my galaxy s4. Anyone have idea how upload onto garden.org? I've actually got several photos I'd like to share. And a new thread on Foxglove mutations (peloric) flowers, which would be very interesting for our readers.
