Day 3 after pollinating and pumpkin on the Steil is looking good. Swelling in size and still shiny. Barely 2 days for the Geddes. Stump on the Steil is looking fat. Steil is 16x18 feet, Geddes is 17x19. Filling up the plot quick. Photos of the Steil to follow. Geddes is doing ok. Still wilting easily in heat, but leaves dont seem to be bending over and breaking now and yellow vine color has faded back to mostly green. The Geddes doesnt have the vigor of the Steil, but it is growing in length faster than the Steil. Both plants have numerous females now. I'll pollinate a few more, then make the call when I can see which looks best. As it stands, the ones pollinated on both plants look nearly perfect in size, shape, location.
