Was super stoked to find the Neptune's booth!   Thursday, April 7 View Page Started germination a few days ago. 2030 Kisamore X1. Unproven, but man that's gotta grow heavy. Also started a number of my own seeds as back ups.   Sunday, May 29 View Page 1707.5 Caspers plant and in the background a couple of my 1049's, which I plan to use as pollinators only. I got a late start this year, and then bad weather, so the Iowa State Fair weigh off is probably not in the cards for me this year.   Saturday, June 18 View Page 1707.5 Caspers (2551 X 200 Wolf) X 1049 Boelman (2185 Brandt X Self)   Tuesday, November 15 View Page Season Summary: 2022 was another hot summer with virtually no rain June - August. Despite a lot of watering and plant care, the pollinations I got on the main vine would grow to basketball size, then stop growing but stay alive for 20 - 30 days, get warty, then die. Pollinations on secondaries didn't fare much better. Finally got a couple of pollinations on tertiaries at the end of August that went nowhere quick. Hoping that 2023 goes better. Tallest tall corn was 17-18 feet. On a positive note, I gave a beginners seminar & gave away seeds last week to a group of Master Gardeners who were interested in giant pumpkin growing. It was nice to give a presentation on something other than poison ivy, and hopefully grow the hobby here in central Iowa.   Thursday, December 8 View Page If Artificial Intelligence was a big pumpkin grower . . . . https://twitter.com/keithwynroe/status/1598375944380887045/photo/1
