So here we are now, that�s the 150 sqft keeper pic! (1874 Mathison x open). The fruit is 26 DAP, could be bigger, but to be honest I haven�t even thought that the plant would set a fruit. Although the 1874 Mathison plant was one of my best plants in May/June, it seemed to have some troubles in June/July (some leaves died), and the first pollination aborted. According to Murphy�s Law, this small plant then set three successful OPEN pollination over a weekend when I had been away. Few days ago I decided to let this one on the main vine be the keeper and culled the other two. BTW, this plant isn�t alone, it�s hosting the friendly mosaic virus. This little guy will probably slow down the fruit growth a little, so that I will have a pumpkin to harvest from my 150 sqft plant. Last year my 150 sqft pumpkin grew just too fast and had a BES around August 19th.
