Week Six

The past two weeks have been pretty rough! Four of my pumpkin plants (two mounds) were destroyed by a hail storm. So, I did the only thing I could, I planted the Black horse!

I laid the pot partially in one of the mounds, and filled in the rest with organic soil, and some manure. So far it seems to be responding very well, and has excellent drainiage due to the type of pot that is holding the plant. Hopefully, I get a bloom fairly fast because I'm running out of time for a pumpkin. I guess I should have taking the advice of many blogs and provided some protection for the plants, such as a tent cover. Now, I'm just letting nature take over, and hoping for the best.
