Well this morning I was sad and happy. I was sad because one of my marrow way out on the big plant on the main vine aborted before I even had a chance to pollinate it which was the one at 21'. There is still one at the 22' mark which looks like it getting larger. I was happy because I came home last night and noticed the little 3" female on the small plant was puckered up and ready for the next morning. Picked a few new puckered up males, took em inside and woke up this morning and pollinated her with two males. Its not on the big plant but at this point I'll settle for any marrow lol. Pollinated her at pretty much 7am on the dot and it was in the low to mid 60's. We'll see here in a day or two if she wants to gain some weight. Crossing my fingers. Plants are grown from a 74# Joynson marrow. I have some really good seeds from Brad Wursten but I dont want to waste seeds that good the first time growing a marrow. Glad I didnt plant the Wurtsen seeds this year with all this horrible weather and DM outbreaks the counties around us.
