This is the 2066 Geddes in Patch 2B. I've been having trouble getting pumpkins set. I had one set on the main vine at around 11ft, but the lobes were deformed. It was growing weirdly so I cut it off. I tried setting 4 more on the main but they all aborted with the hot weather. The main vine growing tip is shriving up and the new leaves are yellowish. The plant is my biggest and has been growing awesomely. I do have some pumpkins on side vines that I think will stick. You can see one that's around 1.5 weeks old at the bottom of the photo that's on the first or second secondary. Some are pollinated on more advanced side vines - all 2066x2157 crosses.
