I have pulled half a dozen females that were in poor positioning (early secondaries). The pumpkin on the main vine was pollinated 6-7-18. I give it a 50/50 for taking. I just don't feel like it will. It is located under the shade structure. Another was pollinated this morning on a side vine 6-12-18. The plant started to show signs of to much Nitrogen so I have backed off all fertilizer for a week now. She is snapping back and growing like a weed. The smaller Holland plant has been used for both pollinations so far and will continue to stay in the patch until I get a 30-80#er set on the Clementz. I have also extended my growing plot and wind fence. My main is a little over 23' now.
