Matt Luce & Steve Jepsen We are growing in Woodbridge, CT 41.21° N 73.00° W In keeping with a new tradition we present the colors.   Wednesday, April 25 View Page Thank You to Rick Capaceletro!!! Rick owns Sports Turf of Connecticut & has a heart bigger than this F550!   Thursday, April 26 View Page This used to be farm land but today is Town owned & used as a community garden. We have secured a double plot that is 25' x 80'.   Thursday, April 26 View Page This land hasn't grown anything for at least 5-7 years. We tilled to 9" with a 35hp Kubota & a King Kutter 3 point tiller. Soil sample pulled 4-22-07. Results not back yet so today we added: 100 lbs Solucal 100 lbs Dolomitic Lime 100 lbs Gypsum 15 lbs 0-0-50 25 lbs PHC 3-4-3 Healthy Start   Saturday, April 28 View Page April 28th 1370 Rose ~ Thank you Jerry Rose! 500 Northrup ~ Thank you Danny Dill! 869.5 Calai ~ Thank you Eddy Zachkowsky!   Tuesday, May 1 View Page I couldn't find my preferred Fine Milled Sphagnum this year. Hoffman seed starter will have to due instead.   Tuesday, May 1 View Page Each of the pots holds six coffee cans of soil. I use one can of warm water per every 4 cans of soil. The whole mess gets mixed together in a clean bucket by hand.   Tuesday, May 1 View Page PHC's Flower Saver contains the VA Endomycorrhizal Fungi species that we're after.   Tuesday, May 1 View Page May 1st First up is the 1370 Rose ~ Club Root   Tuesday, May 1 View Page The missus isn't too happy when it gets cold at night. The top of this refrigerator serves as evening quarters to these 10 plants. Eight 281's One 1370 & one 500 Northrup are germinated but still below grade. We're still waiting for the 869 & the soon TBA seed.   Thursday, May 3 View Page Seed germinating chamber. High tech stuff here. An old cooler with a drug store heating pad. On the pad is a towel & a mail order catalog to moderate the heat. Soaked seeds at 90°F in a 50/50 mix of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide & water for 8 hours. Then they go into sterilized ziploc sandwich bags with a small piece of sterilized paper towel.   Thursday, May 3 View Page May 1st: The 1370 Rose & 500 Northrup are first up as well as 8 of my 281.6 Jepsen seeds. Here are the cut Sewer & Drain pipe pots that I use. Two are hinged with small brass piano hinges. The other two are simply duct taped together. These range in depth from 12-15" which usually gives a seedling one week before the roots hit the bottom & start turning.   Thursday, May 3 View Page The 869.5 Calai popped this morning so into the pot it goes. This one also received some Tera Vita brand Hum-Amend & Azomite to see if it makes a difference in seedling vigor. All else is the same.   Monday, May 7 View Page Soil test results are in. pH 6.4 P 200+ #/A K 238 #/A Ca 1322 #/A Mg 223 #/A CEC 4.5 (Yikes!) Calculated Values: K 6.8% Ca 73% Mg 21%........not ideal but the prior amendments will help Micros: Fe 98 #/A Mn 7 #/A Zn 3.5 #/A Cu 2.7 #/A Percent Organic Matter = 3.4% So....added 20 lbs Humic Acid Here is the patch after being tilled twice. A friend of ours dumped four yards of four year old cow manure. Matt & Tom spread it but now we need to till it under & finish grade the new patch.   Tuesday, May 15 View Page Matt & Rick in the back of Rick's F550. Note the custom body Rick built. He rolled this Toro Dingo on the ground in less than 1 minute.   Tuesday, May 15 View Page Toro Dingo TX-525 Wide Track. Nice rubber tracks to minimize slipping & compaction. Sweet machine. Note the cultivator on the front. Let's see what it can do!   Tuesday, May 15 View Page Rick starts in the far corner & runs the Dingo in reverse.   Tuesday, May 15 View Page SWEEEEET!!!!! Can you imagine how long it would take to rake this out?   Tuesday, May 15 View Page You can't ask for better than this.   Sunday, May 20 View Page We're going to need Deer & Rabbit fencing. Deer fencing is easy but rabbit fencing needs to go at least 16" below grade. This should do the trick!   Sunday, May 20 View Page Rick makes a tough job look easy.   Sunday, May 20 View Page These trenches will house deer fencing as well as new irrigation lines.   Sunday, May 20 View Page We knew the eqipment would destroy the irrigation line that traverses our "plot". We repair the Town's water lines & add our own Tee as well.   Sunday, May 20 View Page Matt & his daughter Julie start setting the posts for the deer fencing that was donate by CT Tick Control. Thank you Richard! http://www.nixticks.com/   Sunday, May 20 View Page The plants have been sitting in pots too long. Seen here are the 1370 Rose, 500 Northrup (weird cots) & the 981 Zunino that was backup to the failed 869 Calai.   Sunday, May 20 View Page First in is the 500 Northrup from Danny Dill. This seedling had a rough start. First it trouble shedding the seed coat then the cots themselves were somewhat damaged. It is way behind the other seeds that I started at the same time.   Sunday, May 20 View Page Next in is our first up this year - 1370 Rose from Jerry. Thanks Jerry!   Sunday, May 20 View Page Because we left a 4 foot buffer all the way around our patch we ended up with 72' rather than the full 80' in length. To make matter worse, the last 10' of patch ponded during the last heavy rain event. So I rearranged the layout today in response. This is the now wind protected home to a 981 Zunino - Thank you Vince Zunino!   Sunday, May 20 View Page My 10 year old son Stephen (ThunderB96 here at BP) installed this gate & reinforced the deer fence to keep the rabbits out today.   Sunday, June 3 View Page 500 Northrup runt on June 3   Sunday, June 3 View Page 981 Zunino - We're behind where we'd like to be.   Sunday, June 3 View Page 1370 Rose is flat here.   Thursday, June 14 View Page June 14: 981 Zunino & a plethora of weeds   Thursday, June 14 View Page 1370 - split on its own & chopped the lesser vine.   Monday, June 18 View Page 1370 split at the next node. Selected best new main. No further issues.   Monday, June 25 View Page 500 Northrup - Runt. We hate weeding.   Monday, June 25 View Page 981 Zunino with some maters in the background.   Monday, June 25 View Page 1370 Rose & several thousand weeds - Been very warm & dry or the weeds would be worse.   Monday, June 25 View Page 1370 Rose first female at 8 feet.   Monday, June 25 View Page These rabbits are all over the place & could be a problem. I hope our deer fence is wire reinforced!   Monday, June 25 View Page Amity Project Our friend Rick Capecelatro has these plants at Amity H.S. Both plants are 281.6 Jepsen '04 (845 Bobier '00 UOW X 842 Eaton '02)   Monday, July 2 View Page LOOK OUT! Spraying chemicals can do this to you! Matt treats for Powdery Mildew. Happy Birthday USA!   Monday, July 9 View Page 500 Northrup - First pollination on 7-7-07 500 x 981 Zunino   Monday, July 9 View Page 981 Zunino - This plants secondaries are too close together. I'll be cutting every other one off soon.   Monday, July 9 View Page 1370 Rose - The first three sides are 12'+ Main is about 18' First female flower on main aborted at 8' Next main female is at 13" where the freezer bag is.   Wednesday, July 11 View Page 500Northrup x 981Zunino at 4 DAP   Wednesday, July 11 View Page Hey Zacary! This is my son Stephen. Kids work on Giant Pumpkins too. Here Stephen is pruning off tertiary vines. These are vines that grow off the secondary or side vines. Allowed to grow, tertiary vines would make a real mess of things & their growth would take away from the growth of our pumpkins.   Wednesday, July 11 View Page Stephen pollinated this one this morning. 981 Zunino x 500 Northrup   Wednesday, July 11 View Page Kids have good eyes. While pollinating, Stephen noticed this Striped Cucumber beetle on the leaf next to the pumpkin.   Wednesday, July 11 View Page A closer look reveals that it's already dead.   Wednesday, July 11 View Page Amity update Hey Zacary, These are the two plants being grown by our friend Rick Capacelatro. He has a few pumpkins just starting. Keep checking in as we'll be following their growth as summer rolls along.   Thursday, July 12 View Page 1370Rose x 981Zunino 2 DAP   Thursday, July 12 View Page This female Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) stopped in to lay eggs in our soil. Her plans didn't work out.   Thursday, July 12 View Page Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) better picture Japanese beetle return to the soil every year around now to lay eggs as the following post will demonstrate.   Thursday, July 12 View Page The Japanese Bettle life cycle.   Thursday, July 12 View Page Oriental Garden Beetles (Exomala orientalis) have been seen here on the sunflowers.   Friday, July 13 View Page Matt's daughter Julie joined us in the Pumpkin pacth today.   Friday, July 13 View Page Julie caught this image of our first open sunflower today. We probably won't win any records but most are still not budded up so we hit them good with 20-20-20 today to help them grow. The longer they don't flower, the taller they can grow.   Friday, July 13 View Page See Zachary? Julie & Stephen are pruning off tertiary vines in places that are difficult for adults to reach.   Friday, July 13 View Page Besides weeding, pruning & pollinating; we also have an issue with rabbits. This deer fencing works fine for deer. But since it's not wire reinforced, the rabbits have been chewing right through it.   Friday, July 13 View Page Rabbit insurance. We added this poultry netting all around today. While not buried like the deer fence, we're hoping the rabbits get the message & stay out. Julie & Stephen were a BIG help attaching all of the hundreds of wire ties we used to secure it.   Friday, July 13 View Page While working today we were being buzzed by Squash Vine Borers.   Friday, July 13 View Page Things didn't work out for this SVB.   Friday, July 13 View Page Stephen & Julie pruned of some surplus flowers today. This is a cross cut of a female flower. The widest part (to the right) is the embryo that would later become the pumpkin.   Friday, July 13 View Page Here is a cross cut of the male flower where the required pollen comes from. If the grower or bees combine the male pollen with the female embryo, a pumpkin can grow.   Thursday, July 19 View Page 1370x981 on Day 10 ~ This plant is producing short stems. This fruit has a scar that might have been rabbit (or careless grower) caused so we surrounded it with "critter sticks" for now. No 10 day measurement because I forgot to bring the tape.   Thursday, July 19 View Page 500 Northrup x 981 Zunino 6DAP Julie & Stephen pollinated this one on July 13. Our first pollination on the 500 aborted in the heat last week.   Wednesday, July 25 View Page 1370 X 981 at 16DAP taping 51" Circumference.

I've never grown a pumpkin with a stem this short. This might be a challenge.   Sunday, July 29 View Page Crazy rabbits were tearing through the place like mad today. I saw five at one time right along this trail, one in our neighbors garden & several more staring at our gate while I was working. I really need to remember Benjamin Sherman next week.   Sunday, July 29 View Page Amity Update - Rick might have sprayed something in the heat of the day here? I'll be keeping an eye on these this week since Rick & the Missus are on a cruise. Happy Anniversary guys!   Thursday, August 2 View Page 1370 x 981 24 DAP CC = 90.5" SS = 65" EE = 63" OTT = 218.5 = 229 Lbs Whatever a grower does, never, never, never wait to place sand under the fruit like we did! Billy, Matt & his son Matthew nearly hurt themselves today. Plus it just about killed me to see them working so hard. The tape said 229 but the groans sounded more like 250. - Good job men!   Thursday, August 2 View Page Vine tension relieved, sand, pulp mill fabric & superflouis leaves vines etc removed.   Thursday, August 2 View Page 500 Northrup x 981 Zunino 20DAP CC = 77.5" SS = 57.75" EE = 50.5" OTT = 185.75 = 145.8 Lbs EST Removed a piece of tendril that the shoulder grew into today. Bedded in sand & pulp mill fabric. Washed with bleach & packed the dent with fungicide (Nova 40WP)   Thursday, August 2 View Page 275 Gallon water tower. Our driver Julio brought this & the pallets in on his spyder/flatbed. First the 14 pallets were stacked. Then he used the spyder to place the FULL 275 gallon tank in place from OUTSIDE the garden. Cool! The neighbors KNOW that we're crazy now.

No new growth after the fruit since about 12DAP but there is still some new tertiary growth in front of the pumper. No pests or disease but we need to do some weeding.   Sunday, August 12 View Page 500 Northrup x 981 Zunino 30DAP CC = 112.5 SS = 72.5 EE =69.7 OTT = 254.7" or 355.4 lbs EST I had to really beat this plant's main today. We're experiencing short stem syndrome this year, Regardless how I set the mains early, the shoulders have mostly touched. Not after today though.   Tuesday, August 14 View Page 500 Northrup x 981 Zunino 32DAP CI = 117.0 SS = 75.3 EE = 73.0 OTT = 265.3 EST = 399.7 lbs Saw some Cucumber Beetles today.   Tuesday, August 14 View Page Tired ofbending & reaching for those pesky tertiary vines? Yeah! Us too! We sell these things. Corona LR3460 long reach pruner.

Applied 200 gallons 20-20-20 @ 5#/100 gallons yesterday & today so maybe they'll pick it up a little now.   Friday, August 17 View Page People keep asking how we're able to refill this 275 gallon tank every few days.   Friday, August 17 View Page We don't! One ofour team fills it for us. Introducing Jose our most amazing spyder trucker! He grabs the tank empty...   Friday, August 17 View Page Sticks it on the back of his flatbed....   Friday, August 17 View Page Here is an interesting situation. This is my 281.6 from 2004. The cross was 845 Bobier cutting x 842 Eaton. In the past it has grown fruit from cream to orange in color but this one looks like it's throwing all GREEN. This was a backup plant that we put almost no effort into. I had actually planned to pull it until now.   Saturday, August 18 View Page ...then brings it back full. What a team!   Saturday, August 18 View Page 500 Northrup x 981 Zunino 36DAP CI = 126.5 SS = 79.3 EE = 76 OTT = 281.8 EST = 477 lbs This fruit is growing like a pancake - very low. We had a blanket on this one last night. Temp down to 53 after a sudden heavy rain as the cold front moved in. This resulted in some ferocious winds. We lost the roots on a few secondary vines. Starting to see a little Powdery Mildew now.   Saturday, August 18 View Page 1370 Rose x 981 Zunino 40DAP CI = 122 SS = 89 EE = 83.5 OTT = 294.5 EST = 550 lbs The oldest leaves are shot. Frequent insect sprays (6 already) are taking their toll. Powdery Mildew is starting. Wind damage was minimal last night but the sheet blew off so this pumper took the full effect of the temperature shift. Both pumpkins are averaging 20 lbs/day.   Saturday, August 25 View Page Ken Carlson & Chris Fasciano visiting us for the Third Annual CT Patch Tour. We were stop #4 of 5.   Saturday, August 25 View Page Matt & Bart Toftness getting ready to tape the fruit on our 500 Northrup. Patch Tour   Saturday, August 25 View Page Matt with the 1370 & some Patch Tour visitors in the background. Our patch is becoming a tourist destination. Folks from all over Woodbridge visit throughout the day. It's actually getting tough to get any work done without being quick with people.   Sunday, August 26 View Page TROUBLE!!! We have a soft brown spot on the stem of the 1370. I scraped the mush out today....   Sunday, August 26 View Page ....then I dusted the soft spot with Captan.   Sunday, August 26 View Page The duster that we used for the Captan is sitting on top of the pumpkin. 48DAP ~ 130.25 - 94.25 - 88 312OTT = 641 lbs EST   Sunday, August 26 View Page We harvested a couple sunflowers today. This old hatchet is sharp enough to shave with. Matt's using the hatchet to cut the stem.   Sunday, September 2 View Page Introducing "PANCAKE" named for her low/wide figure. 500 Northrup pollinated by my son on 7-13. Cool nights have slowed her down now.   Sunday, September 2 View Page "KNOBBY" named for the unusual bump. 1370 Rose I pollinated on 7/9/07 x 981 Zunino.   Sunday, September 2 View Page Stem end of Knobby (1370 Rose). This short stem has given me grief all summer. It recently developed a soft spot but scraping it out & dusting it with Captan did the trick. No fans since no electricity.   Friday, September 7 View Page SQUASH??????? Check it out Glenn. Taping 400. Grown on my 281 (845 Bobier x 842 Eation) of 2003. This seed has thrown orange, white & now light green. Go figure.   Friday, September 7 View Page Better picture of our "accidental squash".

Matt's daughter Julie & my son Stephen pollinated this one on 7/13/07. At one point we had 6-7 pumpkins on this plant but now we're down to just two. 544EST   Friday, September 14 View Page This is a might fine set of growers but with all these bad backs & young people how the heck are we going to get a 600 lb pumpkin lifted? You'll see! Left to right back row: Young Matt, Old Matt, Andy, Bill & Rick. camera - me. front row: Stephen & Julie our featured growers today.   Friday, September 14 View Page Stephen & Julie are about to cut the vine on their first ever joint venture. TP1 or "The Pretty One" 981 Zunino x 500 Northrup taping 580EST.   Friday, September 14 View Page Stephen & Julie about to cut TP1.   Friday, September 14 View Page Hack, hack...chop, chop...snip, snip...   Friday, September 14 View Page Thank you Ray Leonzi for letting us borrow your lifting ring today....as the last roots & vines are cut.   Friday, September 14 View Page Hmmmm....what's this?   Friday, September 14 View Page Woody Lumber Company   Friday, September 14 View Page This fine grapple truck is owned by Harlan Denny who is in the operator's chair & about to make pumpkin harvesting look real easy.   Friday, September 14 View Page Rick secured the lifting ring to the pumpkin then the ring to the grapple using Bill's tow chain (doesn't everyone have one in their truck?). Now Harlan provides a little lift to see that everything is secure.   Friday, September 14 View Page Harlan & Rick are making this look too easy but this is a breath holding moment for two kids....and their dads.   Friday, September 14 View Page The rope is holding...that's a "taught line hitch" for all you Scouts out there. This knot allows us to make easy adjustments without having to untie it. This knot won't slip when loaded. Cool huh?   Friday, September 14 View Page TP1 is floating effortlessly across the patch just inches above the now tired looking leaves.   Friday, September 14 View Page Julie & Stephen look a little apprehensive as Rick gives the lifting ring a final inspection before going up & over the fence.   Friday, September 14 View Page On the way up we get to inspect & clean the bottom. Flat & solid just as we'd hoped. TP1 never had the benefit of sand or mill fabric. She grew right on top of plain patch soil so we all breath a sigh of relief.   Friday, September 14 View Page YAY!!! A perfect landing right in the back of Matt's truck. Harlan doesn't usually get applause like this when he lands the load. LOL   Friday, September 14 View Page Now it's time for a quick Pumpkin Ale toast. Team Orange will soon be off to.....Orange.   Friday, September 14 View Page Despite a nerve rattling 5 minutes, Harlan & Rick really made a difficult task very easy. We still have four more pumpkins in here. To use a tractor would have required removing the fence in which case deer would have free reign until repairs were made.   Friday, September 14 View Page Stephen & Matt will pack up some Giant Sunflowers & we'll make tracks.   Friday, September 14 View Page OK...we might need a better way to transport sunflowers next year.   Friday, September 14 View Page This isn't exactly the GPC approved method of weighing a pumpkin but it's how they do it here. The fruit was taping 580 but with the pallet & blanket TP1 was judged 650 lbs. LOL....Whatever! We'll get an official weight later.   Friday, September 14 View Page Here at the Orange Country Fair our Sunflower head was awarded First Place. Not sure how wide...just wider than all the rest.   Saturday, September 15 View Page In this bundle of tall corn is the Sunflower we entered for height. We'll need to check our own notes for the actual height but we came in Second overall. Cool.   Sunday, September 30 View Page It's time to finally finish up our 2007 diary. Harlan Denny returns to help us harvest the remaining pumpkins for the CT GS&PGA Weigh-Off at Penfield Beach. Though we've done this before, Matt & Stephen look nervous.   Sunday, September 30 View Page "Knobby" at Day 83 1370 Rose x 981 Zunino is ready for the trip to Durham Pollinated July 9th 334OTT at 83 days; estimating 783 lbs but we think she'll go heavy.   Sunday, September 30 View Page "Knobby" at Day 83 1370 Rose x 981 Zunino is ready for the trip to Durham Pollinated July 9th 334OTT at 83 days; estimating 783 lbs but we think she'll go heavy. Nice color for a larger pumpkin even by 1370 standards. Using the 981 as the pollinator will certainly support the orange.   Sunday, September 30 View Page The lifting has become a civic event! The Amity girls track team checks in.   Sunday, September 30 View Page The bottom looks good.   Sunday, September 30 View Page Harlan watches out for spectators as he swings Knobby to the truck.   Sunday, September 30 View Page Knobby safely loaded for Durham.   Sunday, September 30 View Page Rick secures the lifting ring.   Sunday, September 30 View Page Knobby (1370x981) arrives at Durham.   Sunday, September 30 View Page Onto the digital scale   Sunday, September 30 View Page 853 Jepsen/Luce '07 (1370 Rose x 981 Zunino) Fifth place!

The tunnels are clearly visible in this image but so is the Pulp Mill Fabric that kept the mice from getting at the pumpkin.   Monday, October 1 View Page Sorry mice!

They each pollinated one of the pumpkins here today plus they were always willing to pull weeds, chase rabbits, repair fences, etc. They even earned money for the club & themselves squeezing & selling fresh lemonade all day today! We are blessed!   Monday, October 1 View Page 571 Jepsen/Luce '07 (981 Zunino x 500 Northrup) Julie pollinated this fruit at high noon on July 13th. We actually had six or more pumpkins set on this plant at one time. Our goal was to supply family & friends with beautiful large porch pumpkins. However one by one all the rest aborted. Julie this pumpkin "The Pretty One" or TP1. I'd say she was right! The 571 doesn't even have "star flecks". You just can't ask for a prettier pumpkin! We previously weighed this entry at the Orange Fair two weeks ago where they claimed it weighed 640 lbs while sitting on a pallet.   Sunday, October 28 View Page After a challenging 1200 mile drive, Don Young managed to limp into Norwalk on fumes.
