Addendum

When things move as fast as they do in the world of pumpkins taking over the world, you can't wait a week to report on them...

 Ok in the picture above we have the sprawl that is occurring with the pumpkins.. Heading for the lawn and actually there now.. This happened since yesterday..

 Above ... This is a share moment.. Forced share as it turns out.. The pumpkin from above has moved into the tomatoes cage, moved in and shot though to the other side.. I saw a leaf sticking up out of the tomato cage and thought that sure is a big leaf on that tomato..  

Turns out it is the pumpkin.. Is there a way to fix it??  Cutting it would fix it but I won't do that.. Now the question pops into the mind.. Will the pumpkin cross pollinate with the tomato... My feeling is ARE YOU KIDDING.. They are literally in the same bed together.. How's this tomato going to taste.. Moreover will the pumpkin be a different variety that has never been invented.. This could be an interesting accident... 

Hail magnets are damaged?? These hail magnets (defined by me a hail magnet is anything nice that will eventually attract hail, a new car, these lights.. PLANTS IN A GARDEN.. ) These lights (hail magnets) could be deemed broken  or useless but they still work a little. We got hail a week or so ago.. pea sized as it was.. The big stuff is waiting for the pumpkins and tomatoes to set on.. 

Finally this area here was tilled yesterday after mowing the grass.. People might say to me but isn't it too late to grow anything for this season??  Could be too late for a green crop, however this isn't  a green crop.. This is something different entirely.. What I am hoping to grow, or achieve here is.. Well this might seem out there and bizarre but hang in there.. I am hoping to get ...  SALTED TOOTSIE ROLLS.. Now I know you are thinking just what the hell is a salted tootsie roll.. Most of the time.. well all the time a salted tootsie roll is a cat turd in a patch litter box, and the same holds true out side.. So .. Now you know..
