Now that my pumpkin fruit has grown sizable and is hanging from the trellis I constructed, it requires support. This makeshift pumpkin holder is the only solution I could think of to provide the necessary support.
I initially intended to use this net for creating shade in our washing machine area, but the challenge of making a hole in the wall led me to repurpose it as a support for my growing pumpkin fruit.
This approach lets most passersby know that the pumpkin is nurtured and expected to grow, deterring theft or unwanted touching. Currently, I haven't installed the fake CCTV and light, as I might forget or simply feel too lazy to move.
As of now, five promising pumpkin fruits are showing positive growth, and I'm closely monitoring others. To ensure optimal nutrient distribution, I trim the tips of the pumpkins that tend to lengthen, preventing any further competition for nutrients among the growing fruits.
As the pumpkin fruits grow heavier, I observed a slight sag in the central support. To address this, I've added an additional wooden post in the middle, providing crucial reinforcement. With this adjustment, I'm optimistic about a successful harvest in the last month of February.
Anticipating a bountiful February harvest as my pumpkin patch flourishes. Grateful for the journey and the support that ensures each fruit's success. Stay tuned for the final harvest update!

I appreciate those who supported and trusted me to create original content. I want you to know that I'll only be writing about my plants until March. I'm considering stopping because all my hard work in writing is being ignored due to the downvotes of a toxic Leader of Filipino from hiveph. If I didn't care about this site, it would have broken down like Steemit a long time ago, receiving automatic comments that most people dislike. Once again, Thank You very much.
