So the pumpkin in the previous picture was the 5th female on a 1134 Dixon. The 1st one cracked so I gave up on the plant.
Epilog: 1) shut off all water to that plant;
2) no pruning other than to remove all extra fruit;
3) no fertilizers of any kind;
4) no insecticides or fungicides of any kind;
5) plant looked AWEFUL!;
6) estimated 550 lbs !!!
Just think of what it could have been if I looked after it. Never say never!
