>>1782927And bonus post, here are the three surviving Kabocha plants. They're looking extremely happy now that I took care of the pest problem. Tendrils have grown and the growing tips are navigating their way now. Number 4 unfortunately hasn't and it seems will not make it. Poor guy just up and stopped growing and still stands today the same size he was three weeks ago.
Still, all things considered, out of 5 planted, one was stolen, one was stunted, but the other three grow healthy and strong which is not bad at all. I'm pretty sure three should be enough for sufficient genetic diversity, right?
Anyways, I'm happy about this too.
