Added more sand around the bases of the 1998 Jutras and 1114 Minor because pumpkins are getting larger. I had to move the bait blocks because they were in danger of being crushed by the growth of the fruit. Also repositioned shade hoops to protect fruit from sun and added sheets for additional protection.

I'm patiently waiting for signs that the open pollinations on the 1912 Carter have succeeded. All fruit are around 10 days old on this plant.
