Don't know why my pics are upside now. Was never an issue before.

Well I wish I could post a bunch of pics. Culled a small fruit that was bending into the main. Gonna see if it tastes good it smells good maybe they are the same as summer squash... like a yellow crookneck. Gonna use some hay bales to prop up the vine in the 150 sq ft patch. I have an ok from Norm to use a support to get the pumpkin to grow bottom down, which should be interesting. Each of the split main vines has a pumpkin. Both will be ready to pollinate in about one week. My goal is 600 lbs. The plant is the 1992.5 Vincent. It seems to be growing every bit as fast as the others but there are some splits in the vine and it has two mains now. The patch is not quite half full I'm a couple weeks behind everyone... but that's ok. Will post pics next week I hope... and hopefully right side up.
