The female that I pollinated on the 335 Scherber (Survivor)2 days before the flood is now 11 days old and smaller than a softball. But the plant wont' quit and I won't either. I have another one going to open tomorrow on the main and one more a few days later. We have cool weather coming so I will give Survivir a chance. We pollinated one on Jacob's 553 (Submarine) this morning. Since the vined got all tangled up in the flood it is hard to tell if it is on the main or a secondary. I spent most of the day salvaging electric fence posts and wires and getting temporary electric fence around the remaining giants. Maybe in a few days I can include the Weenies and Noah the field pumpkin in the fence. The Cinderella pumpkins that were planted from seed in the garden have started blooming. Those plants were smaller than the giants and probably didn't catch the current as bad.
