Like most years it was cold in May and very hot in July. No rain for three weeks and 5 straight days of 100. Anyway my plants are doing fine and I should have some nice orange carvers in October Friday, July 9 View Page I have planted so much stuff this year it's hard to remember it all. Friday, July 9 View Page Yes it is possible to plant sweet corn and indian corn close to each other. I planted the sweet corn about 3 weeks before the indian corn and the sweet corn matures much earlier than the indian corn does. Friday, July 9 View Page Planted a variety of field pumpkins including Phat Jacks. Friday, August 27 View Page Been a long time since I updated. Its was a tough year with extreme temperatures and little rain. Most of my earlier pollinations didn't make it. This is a 770 Veader- around 500lbs and about 38 days old. Nice color on this one. Friday, August 27 View Page This is my own cross 673Lawrence X 1689Jutras. Nice color but not the heaviest. 43 days old and around 500lbs. Friday, August 27 View Page Another 673Lawrence X 1689Jutras cross at day 37 around 450lbs. The nice thing about growing orange is that if you don't get the weight your still left with a pretty pumpkin. Friday, August 27 View Page Some sunflowers that reached 13ft. Tuesday, September 14 View Page This is the 770 Veader around 550lbs. I had to cut it off due to some severe stem splits. I took it to a local community show to display. Tuesday, September 14 View Page I like the color on the 770 Veader and will give it another shot next year. This pumpkin was a late pollination and only 51 days old.
