Started foliar feeding today with seaweed (5g), humate (5mL), fulvic acid (2g) and micronutrients (2.5 mL) in 5L. Used 3L over all plants.

Dissolved 50g calcium nitrate between two water butts but the temperature is too cold for it to be watered on yet (need some sunshine!)

Also, 50g microorganisms set off in large water butt this morning to treat up to 150 sq m. I'll water over the patches tonight.

1107 Zunino and 1290 Poirier update: both small but they are now growing and at the same stage so cross pollinations between these two should be fine but they will be genetic based pumpkins only (i.e not grown to potential) for 2015's seed line up.

Here's this years planned pollinations:

854 Frei x 1730 Werner
1730 Werner x 1290 Poirier
1107 Zunino x 1290 Poirier
1290 Poirier x 874.8 Geyelin (1770 x 1290)
874.8 Geyelin x 1730 werner

Purely academic but I like the sound of (for 2015) 874.8 Geyelin(1770x1290) x (1730x1290).

if anything I think my ramble has saved Jorgs in box ;)
