The Mathiowetz is looking healthy and strong to me. The others are still unfolding, but is the yellow on the Trombley normal?

I'm also adding a few more amendments to my 150 ft� patch today and installing heating cables. I may keep a second plant on the side of my house, but I might not have enough time to really care for both or fully prepare the ground there. Parts of it are fairly well-decomposed sod that's been covered in wood chips for a year, and I can supplement with a few cubic yards of raised-bed planting soil I already have. At a minimum, it could be fun to see how many 100 lb carving pumpkins I could get from one plant. However, at most I will only keep 2 plants.
