lookee what i found hiding in the 1303 new growth in the weeds. lol. this plant is 5 months old today as sprouted on april 23. and i have flowers blooming still every day on the new growth and the new growth is not slowing down. i have never let this much growth happen later in the plant starting back to about day 55 of the pumpkin. the main is still solid all the way to the stump and the stump never rotted, but i did tug on her to find those roots are all used up now and stump was getting wiggeley and a little loose. i have never seen i plant burst out of the gate like this one early on. the secondaries were always growing almost as fast and long as the main and was a triange of growth from the get go and very agressive tertiary producer early on too. and with over 125 new growth leaves intertwined in my weeds and vine tips running strong still and flowers still opening every day still and finding these pumpkins i have felt made this plant always stay young so to speak. the extra growth homrmones and energy has made this pumpkin grow for a longer period than i have ever accomplished. to still be growing sligtly at 103 days is silly. i am hoping this selfed cross carries this strong plant and fruit development with long term growth possibilities into its seeds. hopefully they will be fully developed and plentiful.
