1421.5 Stelts ’09 (F: 1385 Jutras x M: 904 Stelts)

This is my biggest plant in the patch and I have two potential pollinations on the plant. The first one looks like it set and the other I just did this morning so time will tell. Since the main vine is quickly approaching my deer fence this early in the season and I only have two potential pollinations I have decided to give the main vine a 90-degree turn so that I can have the option of a third pollination in case something terrible happens to the first two.

I am going to treat the main more like a secondary after the 90-degree turn. However, I may grow some of the secondaries a few feet to fill in some of the empty space that results from removing the secondaries near the chosen pumpkin.
