1385 Jutras ’07 seed (x 1421.5 Stelts)
Day: 66
OTT: 341.5”
Est. weight: 836.5lb
This is the tallest 1385 Jutras I have grown. It has some ribs showing some nice texture. What the picture does not show is that there is a new woodchuck hole about 4ft. from this pumpkin. Every time I go to the patch only this pumpkin has the white sheet removed from it. The sheet is always pulled in the same direction (toward the hole) and it is frustrating when I am trying to protect the pumpkin from the sun.
I have deer netting covering all my pumpkins which has prevented any woodchuck bite marks but he can still grab a corner of the sheet and try and use it as a blanket. The woodchuck just moved in so I am hoping to discourage him so he moves on to another field.
