After being away from home with my father in Hospital for 4 days I arrived home as i needed to get some good rest a good shower a good meal and just some time to get stuff off my mind, I figured my plants would have been toast as its been HOT here and i only left each hoop a little bit open at the top, the plants were dry and needed a drink, for the Mood i was in i almost said screw it i was about to pull the hoops and pull the plants and call it a season i was done!!.. But then I recalled all the help my father gave me lugging 20 yards of manure / compost into the new patch in the fall, I donno who loves growing pumpkins more my father or me LOL, he always makes at least 2 trips a week over just to peek in on the plants, So figured I would let them be as it will help keep my mind off everything else and my father would probably kick my butt if i pulled the plants and gave up LOL. 1566 Rodonis "trouble plant" is flat vined i did surgery on the tip tonight to see if i could get her to split into 2 normal vines if it doesnt work I will take next best secondary as new main, I also pulled the 901 Hunt as it was flat vined and putting out tripple vines at each node, I didnt want to grow 2 troubled plants so i culled it, I am left with the back up 1266 Nieuwenhoff (1663 Zoellner x 1161 Rodonis) Great cross, real nice agressive plant look forward to growing it this season, Thanks John for the seed!! So for 2012 I am growing the trouble 1566 Rodonis and 1266 Niewenhoff!! Best of luck to everyone this season I plan on updating when i can.
