pumpkin challenge?

in #garden10 months ago

@der-prophet announced a Hive pumpkin challenge.
The announcemnt is a bit hard to read and I don't know what the exact requirements are, where to post, what tags to use...
I just tag him and hope for the best. 😇

My Entry

That's Hokkaido

I bought it at the market.
Normally, I grow from seed, but I wasn't going to, until @der-prophet made his announcement.

For unknown reasons, my supplier decided to throw 2-3 seeds into each pot.
I don't like it. It was impossible to seperate them.
Now I got 2 plants per spot.

I chose 2 blank spots in the garden, that were covered with stuff over winter.
The soil should be good, as there was plenty of organic stuff that rotted away.
I just dig a hole, put the plants in, cover with some compost, then water.

That's it.

I will not water them further.
If it doesn't rain, they will die.
I just don't have the time for it.

My chances for winning the challenge are slim.
Hokkaido doesn't grow large fruit.
Maybe I get the prize for the prettiest pumpkin, though.

earlier challenges

I still have the funds for the maize challenge 22 and the Kartoffelherausforderung sitting in my account.
I will eventually do the payouts...
I just haven't gotten around to it.

Sort:  

I'm sorry you don't have time to take care of your pumpkin. Zucchini loves water and sun. In addition, if it is hoed at certain periods, it will grow faster and be more productive.

Your garden looks pretty big. How many square meter has it?

1600 m² in the middle of nowhere.

Check yesterday's post! That picture looks much better.

My Chancen are little to, I have only Zucchini plants. Don't have enough space for other pumpkin plants

Last year I really liked the taste of the Potimoron pumpkin. I never bought the seeds of this pumpkin :( I have 2 varieties of pumpkin sprouted now, I’ll take a photo of them a little later.

Make sure to join the challenge!

Hi @felixxx I wanted to write a second post about the Pumpkin World Cup this weekend. The hashtag suggestion #hwc2024 is my absolute favourite.

I think everyone who thinks the project is worth supporting should follow the account @hive-world-champ and mention it in their own challenge post and use #hwc2024.

I will then reblog all posts that mention the account or use the hashtag #hwc2024 at the weekend.

I look forward to your participation 😇

I am happy about any support

Moin @felixxx Ich wollte an diesem Wochenende noch einen zweiten Post zur Kürbis Weltmeisterschaft schreiben. Der hashtag Vorschlag #hwc2024 ist mein absoluter Favorit.

Ich denke jeder das Projekt unterstützenswert findet sollte den Account @hive-world-champ folgen und im eigenen Challenge Post diesen erwähnen und den #hwc2024 nutzen.

Alle erstellten Postings die den Account erwähnen oder den Hashtag #hwc2024 nutzen will ich dann jeweils am Wochenende rebloggen.

Ich freue mich über deine Teilnahme 😇

Ich freue mich über jede Unterstützung
