My Pumpkin Plant is wilting
I was given a pumpkin plant yesterday by my coworker who grew it from seed. I planted it yesterday in a planter. I have the Kellogg raised bed and potting mix. I also sprinkled in some mushroom compost that I got from Home Depot.
The planter is located outside in the corner of the yard next to the wall. It gets a lot of sun, I don’t quite know how many hours, but if I had to guess, at least eight. I watered it right after I planted it and then I watered again when I got home today and saw how wilted it looks. Prior to second watering the soil was dry a knuckle and a half deep. The planter has a net for drainage.
The attached images are of when I received the pumpkin plant, when I first planted it, and what it looks like today.
I forget what kind of pumpkin it is, but it produces 6 to 8 little pumpkins. Please help I really don’t want to kill my pumpkin plant.
Im a noob gardner and yes I know its not the ideal time to grow pumpkins but my coworker has three that she put in the ground and they are doing great.
