It’s been a strange few weeks in our patch, the plants are great and the roots are fantastic. I was having our usual Skype meeting with the board and Don mentioned he was having problem with pollinations due to the heat. Then it dawned on me that we were covering our females to be pollinated with plastic bags and on a sunny day it was too hot. So just when you think you know a lot about pumpkin growing you are brought back down to earth.
Any way I had two amazing specimen Tench this week and it was not hot. I’ve made these very long adjustable rod rests to use when I fish in the boat and they work a treat.
