Pollination on 1002 Garrell ( 1068 Wallace by sib) x 1068 Wallace, at 15 feet. The plant really isnt big enough but the conditions are tough this year. If I get another fruit on the main I will try again. Im still hitting the plant hard with ferts to pick up growth.

Pumpkins are starting to go into the rapid grwth stage. My best plant is tracting 41 pounds a day. It does have a flat spot which may mean trouble as the ribs form later in the season. I will add potash today, vine borer spraying in the hot humid east. Its like August here. I fear early powdery mildew. I will start a preventative program . The writing is on the wall. Dave
