Friday, May 21 View Page Well figured I'd start a diary a bit easier to show the plants instead of trying to describe the issues. Well here is a pic of the 1136, double main vine issue. This is the biggest plant I have the 1596 Wallace and 1164 Finders are the other 2 and 1287 Gansert as a back up. 1596 was off to a slow start but is picking up now. Monday, June 7 View Page Here's 1136 doing just fine. had an issue last week witht main about. went to stake the main a little bit more to put it down well...it went down alright kinked right over split on eah side not all way through, so I propped it back up put some captan and seemes to be moving along just fine. Monday, June 7 View Page Here's the 1164 slowed right down but seems to be picking back up. a few yellow spots had one leave realy bad but the wind took care of that one (think the plant was a little cold). put wind protection up with clear plastic to keep some extra heat, thermometer is reading 85-90's now so I'll keep it up till it out grows it. Monday, June 7 View Page and here is the 1596 staring to run. Been great layed right down and staying there. I'm using stick to guide it straight. need to weed this area tomorrow. Hopefully my little garnden helper, helps me out tomorrow.. Friday, June 11 View Page Well something going on with the 1596 again. The spots are Lighter green and almost translucent. Could this be from the cooler weather I wonder? Friday, June 11 View Page Came out this morning and seen the 1136 laying down(my first thought "oh good finally") until I went over and it was yet again pinched over.I propped it up again it wasn't that bad this time. I cut off the leaf underneath it that was keeping up too. It is about 13 feet long right now and appears to be a female on the end. So if time goes right I may be able to set it at the right time...(If I get any males. Might add some bloom buster tomorrow. Friday, June 11 View Page 1164 is doing good slowed again but they all did been in the 40's at night and 60's during the day. warmer weather is on the way. so they say.. Wednesday, September 1 View Page Tough to get an accurate measurement, b/c I'm not really sure how to go about measuring it?? Still growing though had to put some supports under it to keep from growing on top of the stem.

This is the only pupmkin I have...The 1136 Connelly would not grow a pumpkin they would die off 7-10 days in pulled that plant july 24 got tired of wasting time. and te other one all the pumpkins would get going but they's explode 20 or so days out.
