First set at 11 1/2ft of the 1807 Stelts x 1818 Brsyon cross. Looks like this one wants to lay down. At least the stem isn't as short as I thought it was going to be, so I may have something to work with here. That before mentioned (and pictured) split in the main is only a foot behind where this pumpkin would grow. Day 3 for the second 1807x1818 cros at 13 1/2ft. Looks like the pollination took, a few warm days coming up to help spur on some growth.

Deadheaded the first 3 sets on side vines. They've reached 12ft, 11ft and 11ft. The vine tip is showing another female at 16ft, won't be pollinating that one for at least a week and that's with warm, sunny weather.
