Pumpkins!

The pumpkins are now trying to grow pumpkins.  We've had many blooms, but had not had any fruit try to set - until the last couple of days.  There are about 4 little pumpkins starting to grow.  Unfortunately pumpkins can be susceptible to blossom end-rot.  Blossom end-rot occurs due to a lack of available calcium and one reason for that is dry conditions and another reason is uneven watering.  We've experienced the first and have been trying to avoid the latter.  We shall see.

So, the Mexibell pepper is hot.  I was expecting some heat, but wow.  Not habanero hot, but a far way from sweet.  That said, I liked it and it added a nice kick to my Angry Feathers.
