Culled off the first pumpkin pollinated on the 11th. It's been cool and overcast most days since so it's been slow growing. It was too close in on the vine, so I figured it was time for it to go.

The next pumpkin was pollinated yesterday, the 18th, at 11 1/2ft out. This was the one pollinated with two males from the 1818 Bryson. With a couple of good warm days ahead I should be able to tell if the pollination took. However I aint all that crazy about the stem postion on it (grew out from the top of the vine) and you'll soon seeZ it. That one will.....(GULP)....likely have to be culled. Could the oblong one at 13ft be the one?
