Here is a look at the 1176 marintzer and the 2017 boyce side by side. A decision on these will be made this weekend.
One decision has been made, pretty easy decision when you have a huge flat vine! https://youtu.be/M39Waxd20YM

Plants are starting to really fill out in Kansas. It has been slower for me with all of the clouds, actually a nice charge for us compared to past years.

So our 2416.5 Haist was exactly what you want to see when it is pollination day. Today's backup pumpkin on the 1989.5 Daletas was not what you want to see!

Pollinated a perfect 6 lober 1176 Marintzer x 2017.5 boyce
The first pollination took so this one will be removed in a few days unless something unforeseen happens. It will be really difficult cutting off such a perfect pumpkin.
Heres a look at the first pollination https://youtu.be/bpSDMfjBJX8

Hot temperatures and full sun have the pumpkins kicking into high gear. For sure the largest pumpkin i've ever had at day 13 time will tell if this is a good thing or not.

Little nighttime pic. The 1176 Marintzer is still growing, after a week vacation i came home to a stem with some issues. I've been fighting that all this last week and it seems to be healing over, however we are supposed to have 100 plus degrees with heat index around 110+ so the season could come to a screeching halt soon!

Two weeks left. Hopefully we'll be weighing the 1176 marintzer. If it makes it this will be the first time I've grown and weighed my own seed.
