991 Urena in the front and the 1055 Jutras behind.

Unless one aborts I think we're done pollinating for the year. Each plant has a few open pollinations on a side vine and each plant has one or two already pollinated on the main.

All vines are currently buried. I think I have used about 16 pounds of RTI's pumpkin pro mycorrhizae so far.

I had a gopher chew 2 side vines off the Urena plant and 1 off the Jutras plant. I don't know what kind of damage he did below the surface. Del had been trying to trap and bait him without any luck. I went and bought more traps last night and found a tunnel on the outside of the fence leading into the patch and set two traps and caught him. I'm sure there are more but it's nice to get one.
