No need for crappy pictures!!! 740 Washer very healthy, not much for females. 759 Jensen looking healthy (most AM to mid-day sunshine) has a female at 11ft. Will be a few more days before she's ready. 1036 Slone doing very well, with multiple mains!!! The vine I've deemed the main is at 14ft. shooting nice tap roots and developing a nice canopy, still no females here, yet. 980 Klinker is still struggling! It has a main, barely! It has wilted several times, but hanging in there. Knew I got too excited when this one germinated!!!!! Thanks anyway Kelly, I do my best to get a late pumpkin from it! Hope I can try it again! Last pumpkin setout is the 1110 Krause. Seems stout and strong at five leaf stage. Hopefully it will go to running late this week! I direct sowed four squash seeds, all 717* Lovelace 10. They all germinated very nicely, too bad there is only room for maybe two. I'll transplant them in a couple more days(whe I can see the direction they'll run in). Also, direct sowed some melons, too bad they'll have to fend for themselves, mostly, but glad I got them! Hopefully the direct sowing has enlightened me on my problems germinating. I'll try to start earlier testing that most important step!!!!
