Pollinated a nice 5 lobe blossom this morning on the 2230 Wallace plant at about 13 feet. I have three pumpkins pollinated on the main both on the 1713 Lancaster and the 2058 Rose, the first ones at about 12 feet and the last ones at about 15-16 feet. It's decision time soon on both of those plants. The 2066 Geddes plant will have one opening tomorrow at about 13 feet. Hopefully I'll have all my pollinations done for the season tomorrow. Seems like not that long ago the goal was to have pollinations done by the first week of July, now it seems like if you want to be competitive, you've got to have your pollinations done before the end of June.

SVB's and cuke beetles have arrived the past couple days. The spray program kicks into high gear at this point.
