I planted these the same day, from the same seed stock and with the same soil. They all have gotten the same amount of sunlight. I just found it odd.

Were you drinking heavy around the time you switched from square to round?

Possibly. Maybe I planted them upside down.

Are those pumpkin seeds or pumpkin plants?

Maybe the black square containers pulled in more heat?

They were one first and are now turning into the other. They are seeds from my Grand Mothers pumpkins. I save some seeds each year and replant them. They grow big, at least for here.

Appears that the square pots have more moisture in them than the round pots. Just may be the clarifity of the picture. Did you fail to water the other planted pots?

Nope they all get roughly the same water. The round, brown pots are made out of some sort of cardboard so they make suck up more water but the black round ones haven't come up yet either. I just found it odd.

looks like the square ones are plastic and the rounds are paper. the paper would rob moisture from the soil. the plastic keeps the moisture in the soil.

It’s Hip to be Square!

Those peat pots really absorb the moisture and draw from the soil and increases the evaporation from the soil as a result. Just how those types of pots work. That would explain why the soil looks dry in those round pots. I found it best to keep the peat pots in a pan full of water until the seeds sprout so the pots can wick the water as needed to keep max saturation.

You suck at gardening. And any further advice should come directly from BuckN,,,, pumpkin champ for 112 years running.

Maybe 160 just to forget to put seeds in the round ones. lol

or turn the box 180 and see if the opposite side and corner sprout up fast.

I was thinking black may also be part of it , the square that have black on4 sides germinated faster than the one with only 3 sides at the top
if those round black ones are the next to sprout that might be the case. that the square being up against the dark edge and each other held their heat better longer to get germination

Or maybe that's when the little blue pill kicked in...and he had other things on his mind...

How many of your “special” seeds did you plant?

That's very cool.I would be interested in trading a dozen seeds with you from two or three varieties that I save every year.Most of my life i've tried to save heirloom seeds... Of some variety

Thinking about it? I have had that same thing happen with those round pots. I don't know what the deal is, but I always put it up to seeds. That didn't have a good germination rate, but that doesn't prove to be true.From what you did

Are these for your food plot?

I always knew you voted left.
