It’s been awhile since I’ve updated! Happy 2024 everyone. Here’s my 2024 lineup. I’ll be doing 2 plants this year. Excited to be growing the 2749 Gienger and the 839 Sandercock. Won’t be long until I start em! I wish everyone the best of luck this year

And it begins! One of the best starts I’ve had with the giant pumpkins. I will be growing two plants this year. The 839 Sandercock and the 2749 (Micheal Jordan) My 1197s as backups which just happen to be some of the healthiest plants in here. Aiming to get them in their heated hoop house later next week! After last years unfortunate year with all the rain I’m ready to make a big comeback this year.

839 Sandercock is going strong right out of the gate! Strong growth once it hit the patch. Hoping to get a big plant for a June 10-15th pollination this year on the 2749 and 839

Off to the races as we head into May! Decisions have been made in the patch. My lineup this year is my 1197 Swenson and 839 Sandercock. I was never planning on my 1197 but it has been rock solid right out of the gate. I grew it last year and the plant was the most aggressive plant I’ve ever grown. This years 1197 is showing the same if not a little more aggressive. Probably my best start but it means nothing if I can’t get a good one by September. Let’s do this.
