Well, I haven't updated the diary in a while so here's a few tidbits. This is the Top o The Hill shot. At the far end is the 1381 Swarts (Best plant so far), at 3 o'clock is the 1605 Sweet (pretty shaded spot, but doing well), at 6 o'clock is my 1266 (sad story....This was the best plant when I lost the main except for about 2 feet in a freak wind gust) First pollination on the new main didn't take and and 14 ... yes 14 nodes later a female is showing up in the tip. Maybe a July 15th pollination or I'll try it again next year. At 9 o'clock is the 1404 Bryson (biggest pumpkin but I've never had a plant burn as bad as this one). It doesn't seem to affect the growth of the fruit though as I've never had early numbers as good as this one. Growing in the foreground outside the patch is my daughters 1266 plant. She pollinated a few over the last few days including a beautiful perfect 6 lober. Also in the garden are the four cabagges.
