The original sprout is growing a true leaf.

Each day more infant pumpkin plants sprout. I don't know why this is so fulfilling but it is. It is a bit like finding new Christmas presents every 12 hours or so. The first sprout is already growing a true leaf. I don't know if they'll survive being transferred outdoors, so they'll be living with the violets and cactus by the window as long as possible. At the rate they grow though, the transfer might be soon. ✨🎃🌱

Week 2

The original sprout is growing quite fast! This is one week after planting the ungerminated seed in soil.

Week 1

Sunday June 18, 2023 at 4:50 PM I planted over 32 Renee's Garden "Mini Jack" seeds in 16 seedling pots with seed starter potting mix and fertilizer. I obtained everything locally at DIY Home Center in Burbank, CA. After thoroughly watering the soil, I placed the tray under my grow light (Durolux DLED824W LED Grow Light - 2 Feet x 1 Foot 80W with White 5500K FullSun Spectrum) next to a window with my holiday cactus. I saved the packet of "Early Sugar or Pie" seeds just in case this batch did not germinate.

Five days later, the first sprout appeared around lunchtime on Friday, June 23, 2023! I repotted this seedling in its own pot, lightly watered it, and placed it back under the lamp next to the other plants by the window. As an experiment, I planted two Sugar Pie seeds in a pot.

After an evening out, I came back to find the 2nd sprout. I left it alone in case any more sprouts appeared soon after. Two more sprouts had poked through by 10:00 AM the following day (06/24/2023). When I repotted those, I found a pale seedling germinating below the soil's surface, so I may have at least five plants if all survive. Harvest day is projected to be 100 days from 06/18/2023, around Tuesday 09/26/2023.
