Got a nice early picture of Site #2 last night in between downpours. This will be my featured site this year and will support my best competitive seed. This, and my other competition sites, are 40 x 30 feet. I have the area where my Cloche will be put up covered in plastic (for the past month) until I am ready to build it. Last year this site produced my 787.5 that went to Hollywood to be on the show Modern Family, and also had a 722, a 445.5, and a few other small ones, that were set on the plant late once I knew the main pumpkin was destined for stardom. My patch lays on a slight slope facing south with all day sun. The next nice day I will be spraying out all the weeds and grass. Getting close now. EDIT: Funny, now that I look at the pic, I think I screwed up somewhere. That tarp is 20 x 30...time to get the measuring tape back out.
