One of my several pumpkins that appears to have survived the eleven days of 100+ heat indexes. Several did not survive, but these were pollinated before I started using the coolers. I think the cooling units that I used really helped!

This is DAP 7, self-pollinated with two males on the 1464 Dwelly 2008. The Dwelly was a cross between 1062.5 Stelts 2006 (female) and 1502 Wallace 2006 (male). I am not too concerned with its size at this early point. The shape is clearly not as round as many images of other pumpkins that I've seen. But I think it looks great!
