2261 has started to show some aggressiveness as I had to remove the greenhouse to accommodate growth. I have always viewed June 1 as a critical time as I figure you have about 10 days to push the main vine out close to 12 ft, so when the first pumpkin opens for around June 21st I would be between 12-15 ft out, perfect for pollination. For all but 2 of my plants I will not meet that goal this year, I will wait till the plant is big enough to pollinate, with enough side vines behind it to sustain proper growth. If that date is closer to July 1 so be it, I would rather have a big enough plant set farther out for the stretch run.
