Great fathers day yesterday, son Brandon helped me in the patch to bury vines and also weed, I'm sure he doesnt realize it but the work he did yesterday helped me out tremendously, it definitely helped me get caught up from all the rain we received that prevented me from getting into the patch the last 4 days. Greatest fathers day present I have ever received, it wasn't the help I enjoyed the most, but was just spending the day with him . Hard to believe in just 3 or 4 years both of my kids will be out of the roost and going to college.
Cherish the time when your kids are young Is what I have learned from my first daughter Kady, because before you realize it, they are already grown up.
Ill be pollinating 3 and maybe even 4 plants this morning in the dark with a flashlight before I go to work this morning (approx 5:20 am approx), The 1209 Jimmy the Bee Keeper Kuhn seed, the 1161 Rodonis, 1556 Rodonis and a good chance the 1413 Werner plant.
I have already pollinated 2 plants on the 21st, the 985 Werner and the 641 Bosworth. Earliest year I have ever had pollinating plants, and that's even considering I started my plants a lot later then usual, why this is I have no idea, because I have definatly had better weather then this year before.
I also be pollinating a couple of Ron Rahe's smaller varieties, his Triamble squash cross's. I plan on crossing one of his Triamble Squash with a prizewinner plant that Glenna Rea had grown last year. The other cross's I plant to o I havnt decided yet. Ron's cross's are always great fun to grow, I have grown his seeds every year for the past 3 years.. they always amaze me , cause you never know what your gonna get.
