I'm finally getting pumpkins growing on 3 of the 4 vines, though none are growing as fast as the charts.
This morning I took rather extreme measures to try to get something going on the 4th. I got up extra early and harvested 10 unopened male blossoms from the 1382 Bryson 2011 and transported them 5.4 miles to the other site. Using a fine artist's paintbrush, I pollinated a female blossom on the 1243 Colbert 2011. I then used bottles of ice and a towel to hopefully give the pollen a chance to take, as the high temperature was predicted to reach 98.
