1109 Jutras squash plant. I didn't transplant it until June 1 because of 3 hailstorms and other crazy weather that happened in May. Once it got out of transplant shock, it started growing wild. The plant is 12 feet long with 14 secondaries. I am using lots of sticks to keep the vines from growing into the neighbor's yard and in the direction I want them to grow. I am naming this plant Wild Thing. I should be pollinating it sometime this week.
