I see my son and I are having a crossing of diaries. He forgets to log me off when he puts info into his diary, "Squash Growin Sambo". Oh well..

Todays plants measure out as this..

Sam's 1177 Haist* - 10 ft (clipped one female off at 8 ft, shooting for 15 ft set on this squash plant to get plenty behind the fruit.

919 Rockwell - Now catching up to the squash plant at 9 ft in length. I buried plenty of vines today and have 5 ft first set of secondaries.

1207 Young - This plant was my pride and joy, and it has been nothing but a challenge. It has a double main (some call it a main with a "back main"). The back main is at 60 inches in length but runs up edge of patch as my first secondary. The main which is running out like my regular main is at 50 inches and was clipped to cure the double main problem at 35 inches. It seems to have worked and is picking up speed. This has my best spot, which really stinks so I hope the genetics in this one along with my best soil work for me.
