El Presidente Hillbillios Posted November 22, 2011 Update, This one isnt really far enough down the vine so i think ill cut it off. But so it begins! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted November 22, 2011 Nice. Keen to see how big these fruit actually get. That looks more like an unfertilised embryo than a fruit to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Presidente Hillbillios Posted November 22, 2011 That pic was friday, looks more pumpkin like today. Allthough its not far enough down the vine, i will cut it off They really grow fast! the vine can do over 6 inches a day in good weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted November 22, 2011 Oh yeah, guess it's the photo then. Well mine are going well, but I guess it's virtually impossible to beat the giants. Six inches a day is fast. Mine are prettier though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Presidente Hillbillios Posted November 22, 2011 And tastier too i bet. Im actually pretty interested into what its actually like to eat. Most people say they're inedible, but i really wanna have a go myself, at worse my buddies pigs will eat it i guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted November 22, 2011 I'm sure it could be cooked in a way that makes it half decent. Anyway, if you can grow a fruit heavier than yourself, it doesn't need to taste good. That's pretty awesome in its own right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Presidente Hillbillios Posted December 7, 2011 Sorry jonstn, just negged your post by accident. Was supposed to be a posative. Looks like a nice healthy plant. Does it get much shade off the shed? Seems to me they do best with a little bit of shade. Mine gets shade at around midday from a big overhanging tree. I think its growing better than anyone i have had out in full sun, i just hope i can keep the water upto it when propper summer starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonstn Posted December 8, 2011 Oh no neg'd out lol all good mate. It gets some pretty good shade, get's full sun for a few hours in morning then it's covered by a tree then later in the arvo it gets a bit more sun Just noticed this today: Gonna be doing some pumpkin bondage of my own soon ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
