To everyone that came to my patch yesterday for the patch tour, thanks for stopping! Sorry I didn't have more to show :) and the rain wasn't too bad. 754 Schweigert measured at 70 pounds yesterday at 20 days old. Spread some potash per Matt D. advice in between the storms last night. Culled the 334 Arnold yesterday due to a split near the stem. It wasn't meant to be. More kins coming on the vine now and the plant is massive. I'm still ahead of where I was last year so that is a bonus :). Pollinated a kin on the 960 Gansert yesterday. Plant is small and behind the others but that one is just for fun. Pollinated with the 1059. The pollination on the 1059 did not take but have another due tomorrow. Will cross with the 754 Schweigert for some line breeding to the 993. Not an impressive season thus far for me as the kins on the 334 just aren't working in my favor right now but at least I have one pumpkin in the patch lol!
