Update to My Little Container Garden

An update to this post https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/vi ... 21&t=64645

My garden is doing great!! Left all my plants in boyfriend's care for close to three weeks, and came back completely happy. From little 4" seedlings to all this!

Pumpkins:

Beginnings of little pumpkin flowers (I think?):

Sunflower bud!! - there's another one beneath it as well

Morning glories and moon flowers:

Another pumpkin and a gourd plant. The gourd didn't get enough sun where it was, so we moved it into a sunnier spot and hopefully it will get big like its pumpkin friends. It's also got something funky going on on that front leaf. Any suggestions? I bought some neem oil today to have on hand.

Very excited to be back and happy I can hang around my plants again :)

Looking good!

You need to pot up or plant in the ground like now. :eek:

Good luck

No where to plant in ground, and no bigger pots. We are seeing what we can do in containers - testing the limits of nature! An experiment :) I've seen success with this variety in containers as small as 5 gallons so I'm hopeful, and attentive to their needs.
